Kendra: meaning and origin
Kendra is a feminine form of Ken or Kendrick, says Behind the Name. Kendrick comes from a surname that may go back to the Old English Cyneric, “royal power”, or the Welsh Cynwrig, “chief hero”. Wikipedia says the name’s origins are disputed and calls it the female form of Kendrick.
Nicknames and variants
Behind the Name links Kendra to the Scottish Kenna and Kenina, and lists Lakendra as an African-American elaboration. Ken and Kenny are borrowed from the boys’ side of the family.
