God is gracious
Shandi is a modern English diminutive, often considered a variant of Shana or a combination of names like Shannon and Sandra. It gained some visibility in the late 20th century but remains a rare choice today. Its roots are ultimately tied to the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious'.
