Kyandra is a unique and captivating female given name of Greek origin. It is derived from the Greek word 'kyaneous', which means 'full of cypress trees'. This name was coined by the American author L. Frank Baum, creator of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz series, and it first appeared in his 1904 book, Daughters of Desire. Kyandra is often associated with Baum's character Princess Langwidere, who possessed this distinctive moniker. In recent times, Kyandra has gained popularity as a modern and distinct name choice for parents seeking something unique yet timeless for their daughter. It rolls off the tongue with a pleasant rhythm and offers plenty of opportunities for creative nicknames like Kya or Andra.
"The name Kyandra was most popular between 1989 and 1994 with a peak of 14 births in 1992, but its usage has been relatively low since then, with fewer than 10 births per year after 2003."
