Zandr Origin and Meaning

The name Zandr is a girl's name.

Zandr is an uncommon feminine name that appears to be a creative variant or shortened form of Alexandra or possibly Zandra. With its strong 'Z' beginning and compact form, it has a modern, distinctive quality that sets it apart. The name carries the same Greek roots as Alexander, ultimately meaning 'defender of mankind' or 'protector of people,' though in this shortened form it takes on a more contemporary edge. While traditionally Alexandra variants are more commonly used for girls, this particular spelling is quite rare. Zandr has a certain strength and boldness in its brevity, appealing to parents seeking something unconventional yet with historical underpinnings. The name's uniqueness gives it a memorable quality that stands out in any setting.
