Shawndra
Meaning of Shawndra
In the annals of contemporary American anthroponymy, Shawndra presents itself as a sophisticated feminization of Shawn—an Anglicized variant of the Gaelic Seán—adorned with the Latinate suffix “-dra” to evoke the gravitas of classical nomenclature. Its ultimate lineage can be traced through the Latin Ioannes back to the Hebrew יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan), “Yahweh is gracious,” a semantic cornerstone that lends the name an aura of divine favor draped in a tessellated tapestry of Celtic and Greco-Roman echoes. From a data-driven perspective, Shawndra’s journey through the Social Security Administration’s registers—marked by modest annual tallies seldom exceeding thirty bestowals and a steadfast residence in the ranks between 700 and 900 from 1962 to 2003—suggests a persona at once quietly resolute and resistant to the caprices of fleeting trends (a dry footnote to those who might have expected a meteoric ascent). In sum, Shawndra resonates as an exemplar of linguistic hybridity, offering parents a name rich in academic pedigree and warm in its evocation of enduring grace.
