Sandrah is a modern respelling of Sandra, formed by adding a final -h under the stylistic influence of names like Sarah and Norah. Sandra itself is a contracted form of Alexandra or Alessandra, ultimately from the Greek Alexandros (alexein “to defend” + andros “man”). The meaning is commonly rendered as “defender of men,” often broadened today to “protector of humankind.”

While Sandra became widely popular across Europe and the Americas from the 1940s through the 1960s, Sandrah remains rare, appearing in records mainly from the late 20th century onward in English-speaking regions and in parts of Africa and the Caribbean where creative spellings flourish. Variants and related forms include Sandra, Sondra, Saundra, Xandra; the cognates Alexandra, Alessandra, Aleksandra; and nicknames Sandy, Sandi, Sandie, and Sanne. Pronunciation matches Sandra (SAN-dra), with the final -h offering distinction without altering sound or heritage.
