Meaning & origin
Tandra is a rare modern coinage that first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1947. It likely emerged as a blend of familiar names such as Tamara and Sandra, fitting a pattern of feminine names ending in 'andra' or 'dra.' The name saw its highest usage in 1974, but even at its peak it remained uncommon, never ranking among the top 1,000 names. Its trajectory has been stable since then, with very few new babies receiving the name each year. The name has not been notably concentrated in any particular state, indicating scattered, infrequent use across the country. Tandra's obscurity gives it a distinctive quality for parents seeking a name that is both simple and unique.
Tandra first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1947, likely as a modern coinage blending elements from names such as Tamara and Sandra. Its usage peaked in 1974, but it has remained uncommon, with no clear etymological root in any traditional language. The name is primarily used for girls.
