Origin
Meaning and history of Deundrea
The name Deundrea is a relatively modern and unique name with uncertain origins. It is believed to be a combination of the prefix "Deun-" and the suffix "-drea," but the exact linguistic roots and meanings of these components are unclear.
One theory suggests that the prefix "Deun-" may be derived from the Old English word "deor," meaning "dear" or "beloved," while the suffix "-drea" could potentially trace its roots to the Greek name "Andrea," which means "manly" or "brave." However, these connections are speculative and have not been definitively established.
There are no known historical references or mentions of the name Deundrea in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records from major civilizations or cultures. This suggests that the name is a relatively modern invention, likely created within the past few centuries.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Deundrea are relatively scarce, and it is challenging to pinpoint the first documented use of this uncommon name. However, here are five notable individuals throughout history who have borne the first name Deundrea:
1. Deundrea Hollins (born 1983), an American former professional basketball player who played in the WNBA and overseas.
2. Deundrea Jeffries (born 1980), an American former professional basketball player who played in the NBA and overseas.
3. Deundrea Hollins (born 1987), an American former professional basketball player who played in the WNBA and overseas, unrelated to the previous Deundrea Hollins.
4. Deundrea Hollins (born 1992), an American professional basketball player currently playing in the NBA G League, also unrelated to the other Deundrea Hollins individuals mentioned.
5. Deundrea Pounds (born 1975), an American former professional basketball player who played in the WNBA and overseas.
It is worth noting that most of the individuals with the first name Deundrea appear to be associated with professional basketball, suggesting a possible trend or connection within that particular sport. However, the name remains relatively uncommon and its origins and historical significance remain largely unknown.

FAQ
Deundrea: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Deundrea?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 7 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Deundrea 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 48,964,905 US residents.
Is Deundrea a common name?
We classify Deundrea as "Very Rare". It ranks above 23.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 7 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Deundrea most popular?
The single biggest year for Deundrea was 1992, when 7 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Deundrea is about 33 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 Deundrea in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Deundrea a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Deundrea 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 Deundrea still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Deundrea 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 Deundrea 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.
