I have another sister named Sandra, so this week we are looking at the meaning of the name Sandra.
Sandra is a feminine name of Greek origin, both formidable and
valiant. A variation of Alexandra, Sandra means "protector of
humanity." Both versions derive from Alexandros, the by-name of the
revered Goddess Hera, who was indeed a great defender of many ancient Greek
heroes and warriors. It is also the short form of the name Cassandra.
Those with first name of Sandra
are usually very kind, thoughtful, and sociable person. Because of their
friendly and diplomatic qualities, they make friends easily. They also shine as
a hostess as you instinctively know how to make everyone feel relaxed and
friendly.
Between 1930 and 2022 saw in
Australia 25 boys and 19,433 given the name Sandra, as you can see in AAustralia
the name is generally a female one.
I refer to our Sandra as my “babygirl” she will be 47 on Monday
but in my head and heart she will forever be my babygirl.
She is often called Sandy she is the mother of two daughters and
foster mother to two others, and she often has a fifth child at her place her eldest
daughter’s boyfriend.
I think she is amazing, and our parents would be so proud of her
for taking in Landon and Skylar who are our nephew Dawson’s half brother &
sister.
I am Sandra too. This was nice to hear!
ReplyDeleteI am pleased you liked it
DeleteI know I’d love her.
ReplyDeleteCool
DeleteWhen I was in school from 1954-65, there were plenty of Sandras. It was very popular back then. But in the last 40 years, I don't think I have seen a new baby given that name.
ReplyDeleteNames come in and go out of fashion like clothes
Delete"protector of humanity" - that's bad@$$!!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah
DeleteWell, how bout that! I've known very few Sandras. I've been called Sandra and not Sandy throughout my life. It would be wonderful to be the person in the description.
ReplyDeleteI remember a time when my sister didn't like to be called Sandra just Sandy that has now changed she is fine with either.
DeleteSuch a noble name, Jo-Anne! Our youngest granddaughter is named Alexandra. I know your "baby-sister" makes you proud.
ReplyDeleteYes I am very proud of Sandy and consider myself blessed to have her as a sister
DeleteDearest Jo-Anne,

Mariette
