Kendrea is English in Origin.

Kendrea is a modern English given name, most plausibly a blended formation of Kendra and Andrea. Kendra arose in the mid-20th century as a feminine counterpart associated with Kenneth or Kendrick - names tied to Gaelic Coinneach “handsome, fair one” and to Old English/Welsh elements conveying “royal ruler” or “champion.” Andrea descends from Greek Andreas, meaning “manly, brave.” Combined, Kendrea carries a contemporary, lyrical profile with layered associations rather than a single inherited meaning.

Recorded in U.S. use since the late 20th century, Kendrea remains rare yet familiar-sounding, with some visibility in African-American naming traditions. Variant spellings and near-forms include Kendrea, Kendrae, Kendria, and Kendreya; diminutives such as Ken, Keni, and Drea are common. The blended roots invite interpretive glosses like “brave and fair” or “royal bravery.” Related names: Kendra, Andrea, Deandrea, Kendrick (masculine), and Kendric/Kendrick-derived feminines.
