kandee is English in Origin.

Kandee is a modern American respelling of Candy, used as an affectionate nickname-turned-given name. Candy developed both as a pet form of Candace/Candice and by association with the English noun candy, whose etymology runs through Old French sucre candi and Arabic qandi from Persian qand, ultimately Sanskrit khanda meaning piece (of sugar). This blend of nickname and confection gave the name a playful, sweet aura.

As a given name, Candy appears in English records by the 19th century and rose in U.S. popularity during the 1950s–70s; the K-initial Kandee is a late-20th-century creative variant that has remained rare. Other spellings include Candy, Candi, Candie, Kandi, and Kandie; related formal names are Candace and Candice, and the separate Latin-based Candida (from candidus, bright, white). Meaning is commonly interpreted as sweet via the confection, while the Candace route links to the biblical title of the queens of Kush.
