Origin
Meaning and history of Daandre
The name Daandre is a contemporary name that appears to have been created in recent times, possibly as a combination of the names Daniel and Andre. It does not seem to have any direct roots in ancient languages or cultures.
While the exact origins of this name are unclear, it is likely that it was formed by combining elements from existing names. The first part, "Daa," could be derived from the Hebrew name Daniel, which means "God is my judge." The latter part, "ndre," bears resemblance to the French name Andre, which is derived from the Greek name Andreas, meaning "manly" or "virile."
There are no known historical references to the name Daandre in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records. This suggests that it is a relatively modern creation, possibly originating in the 20th or 21st century.
Due to the contemporary nature of this name, there are limited recorded examples of individuals bearing it throughout history. However, here are five notable people with the first name Daandre:
1. Daandre Buchanan, an American football wide receiver who played for the University of Miami in the late 2000s.
2. Daandre Bryant, an American football cornerback who played for the University of South Florida in the early 2010s.

FAQ
Daandre: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Daandre?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Daandre going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Daandre a common name?
We classify Daandre as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Daandre most popular?
The single biggest year for Daandre was 1998, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Daandre is about 28 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Daandre in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Daandre a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Daandre in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Daandre still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Daandre in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Daandre can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
