Origin
Meaning and history of Keiondre
The given name Keiondre is a relatively modern invention, believed to have originated in the late 20th century within the African American community in the United States. It does not appear to have direct roots in any specific language or cultural tradition, but rather seems to be a creative combination of sounds and syllables intended to convey a unique and distinctive identity.
While the exact origins and meaning behind the name Keiondre are somewhat ambiguous, it is possible that the first syllable "Kei" may have been inspired by the ancient Egyptian word "Kemet," which referred to the land of Egypt itself. The latter part of the name, "ondre," could potentially be a nod to the French name "Andre," derived from the Greek word "andros," meaning "man" or "warrior."
Unfortunately, there are no known historical references or recorded appearances of the name Keiondre in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records prior to its modern usage. This is likely due to its relatively recent coinage and lack of direct ties to established linguistic or cultural traditions.
In terms of notable individuals who have borne the name Keiondre, the earliest recorded examples appear to be from the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Here are a few prominent individuals with this first name:

FAQ
Keiondre: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Keiondre?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 125 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Keiondre 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 2,742,035 US residents.
Is Keiondre a common name?
We classify Keiondre as "Very Rare". It ranks above 67.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 127 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Keiondre most popular?
The single biggest year for Keiondre was 2002, when 13 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Keiondre is about 23 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 Keiondre in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Keiondre a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Keiondre 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 Keiondre still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Keiondre 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 Keiondre 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.
