      The name Zandra, originating from Greek, is derived from the name Alexandra. It serves as a diminutive form of Alexandra, which means defender of mankind in Greek. In ancient Greek culture, Alexandra was a highly regarded name associated with bravery and strength. Over time, this name has evolved into various diminutive forms, including Zandra.

      The name Zandra has a rich history that can be traced back to Greek mythology. During the Hellenistic period, it was not uncommon for individuals to adopt diminutive versions of their given names. These diminutive forms were often used as endearments or to signify familiarity.
