Meaning & origin
Deandra is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1955, during a period when distinctive prefixed names like Deandra gained appeal. Its rank of 11,932 in 2025 reflects a steady decline since its peak year of 1988, when it ranked highest. The name was given to approximately 1 in 229,610 girls born in 2025, illustrating its rarity today. The trajectory has been falling since 1989, and though it saw modest use in the 1980s, it never achieved widespread popularity and has no strong ties to any single state. Deandra's formation aligns with a trend of creative feminine names emerging in the mid-20th century.
