Shaundre

Shaundre is a masculine name that appears to be a blend of 'Shaun' (a variant of Sean, the Irish form of John meaning 'God is gracious') and the suffix '-dre' (found in names like Andre). This type of combined or blended name became increasingly common in American naming patterns from the 1970s onward. The name first appeared in naming records in the 1980s and saw modest usage through the 1990s. Shaundre has a distinctive sound with emphasis typically on the first syllable (SHAUN-dre). The name can also be spelled 'Shawndre' reflecting the alternative spelling of Shaun/Shawn. While never among the most common names, Shaundre represents creative naming practices that blend recognizable elements to form distinctive new names with a contemporary feel.

Pronounced SHAWN-druh.
