Shandy
Meaning of Shandy
Shandy is a unisex given name, pronounced SHAN-dee (/ʃænˈdi/) and most often encountered in English-speaking contexts. Its origin is somewhat informal, arising as a diminutive of names like Sandra or Shannon, yet it also carries the lighthearted association of the British beverage blend of beer and lemonade. In the United States, Shandy has maintained modest popularity—generally appearing in the Social Security rankings between the 700s and 900s from the early 1980s through the first decade of the 2000s—underscoring its appeal as an unconventional choice. A further point of interest is its literary resonance in Laurence Sterne’s 18th-century novel Tristram Shandy, which lends a subtle undercurrent of wit. Altogether, Shandy presents a distinctive, gender-neutral option with a restrained dash of cultural and literary flair.
