Meaning & origin
Chrisandra is a modern, compound name that saw its highest recorded usage in the 1980s. According to U.S. Social Security data, the name first appeared in 1947, but its peak year was 1982, when it was given to a small number of girls. Since then, its use has remained stable but very sparse, never breaking into national popularity ranks. As a combination of Christine and Sandra, it reflects mid-20th century naming trends that favored creative blends. Chrisandra has not been associated with any particular region or state, and no top states are recorded for the name.
Chrisandra is a modern coinage, blending the first part of Christine (from Greek christos, meaning anointed one) with the suffix -sandra from names like Sandra (a short form of Alexandra, from Greek defending men). It emerged in the mid-20th century as part of a trend of inventive compound feminine names. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1947 and saw modest use, primarily in the 1980s.
