Origin
Meaning and history of Deondric
The name Deondric has its origins in the African American community, where it was created as a unique and cultural blend of names. It is believed to have emerged in the late 20th century, combining elements from other more common names.
One theory suggests that Deondric is a combination of the names Deon and Cedric. Deon is derived from the Greek name Dionysos, associated with the Greek god of wine and revelry. Cedric, on the other hand, has Old English roots and means "bounty" or "chief."
Another possibility is that Deondric is a variation of the name Deandre, which itself is a combination of the names Dean and Andre. Dean is an English name meaning "valley," while Andre is a French form of the Greek name Andreas, meaning "manly."
While there are no definitive historical records or ancient texts mentioning the name Deondric, its relatively recent creation reflects the vibrant naming traditions within the African American community. These naming practices often involve blending and creatively combining elements from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
Some of the earliest recorded examples of individuals named Deondric date back to the late 20th century, though specific dates and details are scarce. Here are a few notable people who have borne the name Deondric throughout history:

While the name Deondric may be relatively new, its unique blend of cultural influences and creative naming traditions within the African American community has contributed to its increasing popularity and recognition in recent decades.

FAQ
Deondric: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Deondric?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 10 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Deondric 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 34,275,434 US residents.
Is Deondric a common name?
We classify Deondric as "Very Rare". It ranks above 28.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 10 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Deondric most popular?
The single biggest year for Deondric was 1998, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Deondric 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 Deondric in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Deondric a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Deondric 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 Deondric still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Deondric 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 Deondric 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.
