Meaning & origin
Kendria is a modern feminine name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1967. It reached its peak popularity in 1988, but has been declining since then and has never entered the top 1000 names. The name is a typical example of late-20th-century coinage, blending the familiar Ken- prefix with the fashionable -dria suffix. While it was recorded in the 1980s, it remains very rare, with no state-level concentration in the data. Kendria reflects a broader trend of creative name formation in that era.
Kendria first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1967, part of a trend of invented feminine names using the fashionable -dria ending. It likely draws from the prefix Ken- (a short form of Kenneth, meaning 'handsome' in Scottish Gaelic) blended with the rhythmic -dria pattern seen in names like Alexandria. The name saw modest use during the late 20th century but has remained rare.
