Origin: Italian

Meaning: Of Chiandra; Of Alexandra; Moonlight; Defender and protector of men

Ciandra is one of those uniquely rare names with origins and derivations from all over the world. It has Italian origins as a twist on Chiandra, meaning “moonlight.” At the same time, in Greek, it could potentially be a spin on Sandra or Xandra—short for Alexandra, meaning “defender and protector of men.” In any case, the name Ciandra, much like the moon and those ancient warriors, radiates an air of mystery, power, and inner strength.
