Sauhndra Origin and Meaning

The name Sauhndra is a girl's name.

Sauhndra is a feminine name that represents a creative phonetic spelling of the more common name Sandra. Sandra itself derives from the Greek name Alexandros (Alexander), meaning "defender of mankind" or "protector of men." This alternative spelling gives the traditional name a distinctive appearance while maintaining the same pronunciation. Sauhndra emerged primarily in the later 20th century when unique name spellings became more popular. While not as common as the traditional Sandra, this spelling variation allows for individuality while preserving the name's historic roots and meaning. Sandra reached peak popularity in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s, and this variant spelling followed that trend.
