What the Data Says About Shandra

The Social Security Administration has registered 3,018 babies named Shandra between 1945 and 2008, spanning 64 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Shandra currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2008. The name reached its historical peak in 1976, when 127 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Shandra performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 1,115 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Shandra shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 243 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Florida. In total, SSA state-level files list Shandra in 24 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Shandra in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 3,018 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
