Alandria

Alandria is a feminine name that appears to be a modern creation, possibly combining elements of Alan (meaning "handsome" or "cheerful" from Celtic origins) with the feminine suffix "-dria" found in names like Alexandria. This melodious name has a flowing, romantic quality with its four syllables and soft consonants. While lacking extensive historical usage, Alandria began appearing occasionally in the United States during the late 20th century as parents sought unique yet accessible names. It fits within the trend of elaborated names with liquid sounds that became popular from the 1980s onward. Alandria remains uncommon enough to be distinctive without seeming completely fabricated. Its similarity to more established names like Alexandra or Alessandra gives it a familiar quality despite its relative novelty.

Pronounced uh-LAN-dree-uh.

As of October 2026, Alandria ranked #15395 in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #4353 in 1995.
