Candrea is in Origin.

Candrea is a modern blended feminine name in English, most likely combining Candace/Candice and Andrea. Candace traces to the Kushite royal title kandake, “queen (mother),” later associated in English with ideas of “brightness” through Latin candidus. Andrea comes from Greek Andreas, rooted in anēr/andros, “man, warrior,” and is widely used as a feminine given name. Together, Candrea suggests “queenly strength” or “brightly courageous.” It emerged in the United States in the late 20th century - especially within African-American naming traditions that favor inventive blends - and has remained uncommon in national rankings.

Variants and related forms include Kandrea, Candria, C’Andrea, and Deandrea; nicknames include Drea, Andi, and Candy. Pronunciations vary, typically kan-DRAY-uh or kan-DREE-uh. With echoes of Nubian heritage, Greek etymology, and contemporary English style, Candrea offers a distinctive yet approachable choice.
