Deandra
Meaning of Deandra
Deandra, pronounced dee-AN-druh (/diːˈændrə/), is a unisex appellation of modern Anglo-American formation, deriving from the masculine French André by the analytical addition of the feminine suffix -a, itself traceable to the Ancient Greek andros, signifying “man” or “warrior.” This morphological synthesis yields a technically precise name that transcends binary gender associations while retaining etymological transparency. Empirical review of United States Social Security Administration records indicates its first recorded use in 1955, followed by a gradual ascent to a maximum of 228 occurrences (rank 588) in 1988 and a subsequent, measured decline to 10 occurrences (rank 948) in 2023. Such longitudinal data underscore Deandra’s evolution from a mid-20th-century innovation to a contemporary, albeit infrequent, unisex choice.
