Andra is a name for all genders, somewhat more commonly used for girls.
At least in the US, the name Andra is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Andra each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Andra will meet someone with the same name. So, Andra is a very special name!
While Andra is not one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to have attracted parents especially more than 50 years ago in the last century. In 1967, the name Andra reached its highest popularity with #1,074 in our ranking of all first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their baby Andra. Perhaps it was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and children in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Andra.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Andra was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 9 babies were born with the name Andra. This puts the name in rank 17,307 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 36,733,544 newborns was named Andra that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Andra has been and remains marvelously unusual!
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for given names. 10.3% of all common first names in the US start with this letter. The second most common initial letter in first names is J.
With five letters, the name Andra is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 10.3% of all first names start with an A, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average.
If your name is Andra and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
