Rande as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Rande

What is the meaning of the name Rande ?

The baby name Rande is a Male name , 12 syllables long and is pronounced /rænd/ (RAND) or /ˈrændi/ (RAN-dee).

Rande is English in Origin.

Rande is a modern English given name with Germanic roots. It often functions as a short form or variant of Rand, Randall, and Randolph, names built on the element rand, from Proto-Germanic randaz and Old Norse rönd, "rim, shield." As such, Rande can carry the sense "edge, border" when derived from Rand, or the fuller compound meaning "shield-wolf" when traced to Randolph (rand + wulf). The final -e is a stylistic ending.

Usage is chiefly 20th-century in Anglophone countries, rising alongside the boom of Randy in the 1950s-70s, though Rande has remained comparatively rare. It appears for the most part as a masculine name but is occasionally treated as unisex. Related forms include Rand, Randy, Randie/Randee, Randal/Randall, Randell, Randle, and Randolph; Scandinavian cognates include Randolf and Randulf. Randi is sometimes grouped with it in English, though in Scandinavia it has a different origin.
