A French name gently fading from the charts.
Dandre is a boy's and girl's baby name of French origin, a compound of the French article de and André (the French form of Andrew, Greek, 'manly'), meaning 'of Andre' or more loosely 'son of the brave.' It has been widely used in African-American communities since the 1980s with a smooth, Franco-American elegance.
Dandre was #811 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #2525, but its charm endures.
