History & Origin

Zondra is a striking Z-spelling of Sondra, a variant of Sandra. Sandra is a short form of Alessandra and Alexandra, from the Greek for defender or helper of men. Zondra appears in United States records from around nineteen-thirty-seven, peaked around nineteen-seventy-three, and stayed a rarity of a couple dozen girls a year.

The Z spelling gives the mid-century Sondra a distinctive flourish, and a Zondra of the nineteen-seventies would be in her fifties now. It inherits the strong defender meaning of Alexandra and has stayed rare in this bold form.

Did you know? Swapping the S for a Z gives Sondra a bolder, more distinctive look while keeping the sound intact.
