Faydra

Faydra is an uncommon feminine name with uncertain origins, possibly a creative variant of names like Phaedra (from Greek mythology, meaning 'bright') or a modern invention. The spelling with 'ay' gives it a distinctive, somewhat exotic flair. Faydra emerged in the United States around the mid-20th century but has remained quite rare, never appearing in the top 1000 names. Its uniqueness makes it appealing to parents seeking an uncommon name with a melodic quality. The name has an airy, graceful sound with its flowing syllables, and carries associations of brightness and individuality.

Pronounced FAY-druh.

As of October 2026, Faydra ranked #18043 in US births in 2006 SSA, peaked at #4110 in 1970.
