Shondra

Meaning of Shondra

Shondra is a warm, spirited female name pronounced SHAHN-druh (/ʃɑːn.drə/). Born as a modern spin on Sandra—“defender of mankind”—it also whispers of India’s Chandra, the moon goddess, lending it a gentle glow. In its quick syllables you can hear laughter like a playful monsoon shower. It first fluttered onto U.S. baby charts in the late 1970s, even charming new parents in Louisiana, and has carried on as both strong and sweet. Picture a little Shondra weaving rangoli patterns under a silvery sky—that blend of courage and charm is this name’s promise. For families seeking a name that feels rooted and radiant, Shondra is a choice that truly shines.
