History & Origin

Quandre is a coined name, built the way many African-American names of its era were: a fashionable prefix, Quan-, fused to a familiar ending, here the -dre of Andre and Deandre. There is no ancient root behind the whole, though that -dre tail traces back to Andre and Greek andreios, 'manly.'

As a birth name Quandre stayed rare, reaching only about fourteen boys a year even at its peak in the mid-nineteen-nineties and just over a hundred boys across its whole run. A child named Quandre then is in his early thirties today.

Did you know? Quandre belongs to a family of invented Quan- names, alongside Quantavious, Quandarius and Quanisha, that flourished in African-American communities in the late twentieth century.
