Dawandrea is in Origin.

Dawandrea is a modern American coinage, most likely a blended name. Parents often form it by combining Dawn (English “daybreak”) with Andrea (from Greek andreios, “brave, manly”), or by fusing DeWanda/Wanda with Andrea. As with many contemporary compound names, meaning is interpreted additively: images of new beginnings and light from Dawn paired with Andrea’s longstanding sense of courage and vigor; if taken via Wanda, it also nods to a Central-European legend-name of debated origin.

Used chiefly in the United States from the late 20th century, Dawandrea remains rare but recognizable within African-American naming traditions that favor creative blends and honorific prefixes like De-/Da-. Documented variants include Dawandra, Dawandria, Dewandrea, DeWandrea, D’Wandrea, and Wandrea; related forms are Deandra and De’Andrea. Short forms include Dawn, Drea, Andi, and Wanda. The name’s modernity allows flexible spelling and personal significance while echoing classical Andrea’s pan-European history.
