Keladry

A name created by author Tamora Pierce for a character in her Protector of the Small series, a quartet of young adult fantasy novels. In the novels, Keladry is the first girl in centuries to seek a knighthood and the novels follow her journey towards this goal.

Looking at the origins of the other names used in the series, Keladry's name could be linked to the Irish Kelly, the Norse Kelda, the French Landry, or Estonian and Turkish name Kadri — a variant of Katherine — or, it may be entirely made up .

Pronounced kel-AH-dree.
