History & Origin
Rande appears in United States records from the mid-1940s, when snappy unisex short forms like Randi, Randy and Rande were in vogue. Tied to Miranda and Randall, it stayed long-tail, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1950 and fading by the 1990s.
A girl named Rande then would be in her seventies now, so it reads as a breezy postwar nickname-name. It has not revived, though Miranda itself remains a well-loved full name behind it.
