A modern blend of Shan and Andrea
Shandrea is a modern American invention likely created by combining the prefix 'Shan' (often associated with names like Shannon or Shandra) with the name Andrea. Andrea is derived from the Greek 'andreios', meaning manly or courageous, though in this feminine context it represents strength.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Shandrea in 2025.
