Dandrae is English in Origin.

Dandrae is a modern American given name, common in African-American communities. It likely blends Dan with Dre/Andre, or elaborates DeAndre. Andre is the French form of Andrew, from Greek Andreas < aner/andros “man; warrior.” Dan may reference the Hebrew name “judge” or Daniel, “God is my judge.” As a coinage, Dandrae is often interpreted as evoking strength with a note of judgment, rather than having a single fixed meaning. Attested in U.S. records since the late 20th century, it remains rare compared with D’Andre and DeAndre, which peaked in the 1990s–2000s. Variants and related forms include Dandre, D’Andre, DeAndre, Deondre, Dantre; nicknames Dan and Dre. Usage is primarily masculine but occasionally unisex. Dandrae reflects creative African-American naming that fuses biblical and European roots with rhythmic -dre/-rae endings.
