Origin
Meaning and history of Yandry
The name Yandry has its origins in the ancient Slavic languages, with roots tracing back to the 9th century. It is believed to be derived from the Old Slavic word "yanov," meaning "belonging to Yan." The name was particularly popular among the Slavic tribes that settled in the regions of modern-day Poland, Ukraine, and western Russia.
One of the earliest recorded references to the name Yandry can be found in the Pravda Rus'kaya, an ancient Slavic legal code from the 11th century. The text mentions a nobleman named Yandry Mikhailovich, who served as a court advisor to the Grand Prince of Kiev.
During the Middle Ages, the name Yandry gained popularity among the nobility and ruling classes of Eastern Europe. A notable figure bearing this name was Yandry Boleslavovich, a Polish prince who lived in the 13th century and was known for his military conquests against the Teutonic Knights.
In the 15th century, a renowned Russian icon painter named Yandry Rublev (c. 1360-1430) gained fame for his religious artworks, which are now considered masterpieces of medieval Russian art. His most celebrated work is the Trinity icon, which is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
Another notable figure was Yandry Kuritsyn (c. 1570-1642), a Russian diplomat and statesman who served as an envoy to several European courts during the reign of Tsar Michael I. He played a crucial role in negotiating treaties and fostering diplomatic relations between Russia and other nations.
In the 18th century, Yandry Khvostov (1728-1822) was a prominent Russian poet and playwright who was known for his satires and comedies. He served as a court poet and was a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
While the name Yandry has fallen out of common usage in modern times, it remains an important part of the cultural heritage of the Slavic peoples, particularly in Eastern Europe. Its rich history and association with notable figures from various fields make it a name steeped in tradition and cultural significance.

FAQ
Yandry: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yandry?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yandry 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 Yandry a common name?
We classify Yandry 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 Yandry most popular?
The single biggest year for Yandry was 2015, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yandry is about 11 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 Yandry in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yandry a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yandry 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 Yandry still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yandry 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 Yandry 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.
