Meaning of Lakendra

Lakendra, pronounced luh-KEN-druh (/ləˈkɛn.drə/), is a warm, modern American creation that pairs the playful “La-” prefix with the classic name Kendra—itself rooted in Old English and Welsh words for “bold ruler” or “great champion.” With its gentle yet confident rhythm, Lakendra feels like the first light of dawn breaking through clouds, carrying a spark of individuality that’s impossible to overlook (good luck finding another Lakendra in your class!). Although she never topped Florida’s baby-name charts, Lakendra quietly charmed families from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s—peaking in the late ’80s with a modest but devoted following. Today, this name strikes a perfect balance between fresh creativity and timeless strength, setting the stage for any little girl bearing it to grow into a confident trailblazer with a story all her own.
