History & Origin

Quadre is a modern African-American coinage that joins a Qua- opening to the -dre ending of Andre and Deandre. Andre is the French form of Andrew, from Greek andreios, 'manly, brave,' and its -dre sound seeded many inventive names late in the twentieth century. Quadre appears in United States records from the early nineteen-nineties, with its brief high early that decade. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year.

A boy named Quadre from that time would be in his thirties now. The name reads as an inventive nineteen-nineties choice tied to the -dre family, and it has not carried on into wider use.

Did you know? The -dre ending of Quadre ties it to Andre and Deandre, ultimately echoing Andrew - Greek for 'manly, brave' - under a freshly coined opening.
