Kendria is English in Origin.
Kendria is a modern English feminine given name, an elaboration of Kendra with the Latinate -ia ending. Kendra itself is widely treated as a contemporary feminine form linked to Kenneth (from Gaelic Coinneach “handsome, fair”) or to Kendrick (Old English/Welsh roots meaning “royal ruler” or “champion”), and it also resonates with the English word ken “knowledge, understanding.” Through these strands, Kendria is often interpreted with nuances of fairness/beauty, wisdom, and strength or leadership, while retaining a sleek, melodic, late-20th-century style.
Recorded in U.S. data from the 1980s onward, Kendria remains rare but recognizable, with pockets of use in African-American naming traditions. Variants and related forms include Kendrea, Kendrina, and the base name Kendra; diminutives and nicknames include Dria, Kenna, and Keni/Kenni. Spelling variants sometimes appear (e.g., Kendrya), though no long-standing traditional form exists.
