Origin
Meaning and history of Delandre
The given name Delandre has its origins in the French language, tracing back to the early modern period in France during the 16th and 17th centuries. It is believed to be a combination of the French words "de la" meaning "of the" and "andre" which is a form of the name Andrew, derived from the Greek name Andreas, meaning "manly" or "brave."
One of the earliest recorded uses of the name Delandre can be found in historical records from the region of Normandy in northern France. It was a name given to children born into noble families, possibly as a way to associate them with the virtues of bravery and strength implied by the name's meaning.
While the name Delandre does not appear to have any direct references in ancient texts or religious scriptures, it does share similarities with the French surname Delandro, which is believed to have originated from a small village or hamlet in France called Landro or Landre.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the first name Delandre. One such person was Delandre de Saint-Esprit, a French military officer and writer who lived in the late 17th century. He is known for his work "Traité de la Guerre Défensive," published in 1688, which explored defensive military strategies.
Another Delandre of note was Delandre de Beaufort, a French nobleman and courtier who served as a chamberlain to King Louis XIV in the 17th century. He was born in 1634 and played a role in the cultural and artistic affairs of the French court during that time.
In the 18th century, there was Delandre de Pradines, a French lawyer and magistrate who served as a judge in the Parlement of Paris, one of the highest courts in the kingdom. He was born in 1712 and was known for his legal writings and opinions on civil law.
Moving into the 19th century, Delandre Lavallet was a French painter and illustrator active in the early 1800s. He was born in 1789 and is remembered for his landscapes and portraits of notable figures of the time.
Finally, in the 20th century, Delandre Vilain was a Belgian artist and sculptor who worked in the Cubist and Expressionist styles. He was born in 1904 and his works can be found in various museums and galleries throughout Europe.

FAQ
Delandre: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Delandre?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Delandre 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 Delandre a common name?
We classify Delandre 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 Delandre most popular?
The single biggest year for Delandre was 1999, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Delandre is about 27 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 Delandre in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Delandre a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Delandre 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 Delandre still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Delandre 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 Delandre 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.
