Meaning & origin
Elisandra is a modern feminine name that first entered U.S. records in 1974, reflecting the late 20th-century trend of blending established names to create fresh but recognizable options. With a rank of 11,932 and an incidence of 1 in 229,610 as of 2025, it remains a rare choice. Its peak year was 2024, suggesting a slight recent uptick in interest. The name's trajectory is stable, neither surging nor declining significantly. While it has not been recorded in any top state lists, its composition from Elizabeth and Sandra gives it a familiar yet distinctive feel. As a modern coinage, Elisandra carries no ancient roots but offers a melodic alternative to more common names like Alessandra or Eliana.
Elisandra is a modern invented name, combining elements of Elizabeth (from Hebrew Elisheva, 'my God is an oath') with the popular suffix -sandra, itself derived from Alexandra (from Greek 'defender of men'). This type of blend emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought distinctive yet familiar-sounding names. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1974 and has maintained low but steady usage since.
