Meaning & origin
Sandrea is a rare invented name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1939, during a period when creative, feminine-sounding coinages were fashionable. It saw its highest usage in 1944, but it has never been ranked among the top baby names. The name is most likely a blend of Sandra and Andrea, two popular mid-20th-century names, reflecting a trend of combining familiar elements into new, melodic forms. Because it has no traditional etymology, Sandrea remains an uncommon choice, used by only a handful of families over the decades.
Sandrea appears to be a modern coinage, likely formed from the popular name Sandra (a short form of Alexandra) combined with the suffix -rea, perhaps influenced by Andrea or other names ending in -rea. It first appeared in U.S. records in the 1930s and saw modest use in the 1940s, but it has never been common. The name does not have a traditional etymology or root in older languages.
