Meaning & Story
An English feminine name, possibly from the Welsh 'Cynddylig' meaning 'chief lord,' or a modern coinage blending Ken and Sandra; also associated with the Old English word for 'knowing.'
Kendra has a confident, polished quality — it sounds like someone who has things handled, who shows up prepared, and who has never in her life been described as 'low-key.' The name gained wider recognition through reality TV and pop culture, lending it a contemporary edge alongside its older roots. For a female dog with natural authority, a take-charge attitude, and the kind of look that says 'I already know what I want,' Kendra is a perfect match.
