Meaning & origin
Lizandra is a modern American coinage that first appeared in Social Security records in 1971. It has never broken into the top 1000 names, remaining a rare and distinctive choice. Its peak year was 2010, though usage has declined since then and remains stable. The name likely originated as a blend or variant, drawing on the familiar sounds of Elizabeth and Alexandra, both of which have deep historical roots.
