Kendra

My name is Kendra and I was born in the 1960's. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting an older Kendra than myself.

It is my understanding the name meaning and origin is Old Norse, Root Kenna meaning:
Knowledgeable, one of wisdom speaking beautifully, sensitive, achieving with devotion, enchanting, noble, faithful friend, responsible, radiating (has the time of her life) grand adventures.

My Grandmother was from Bohemia. Born 1903 and named me.

I'm not sure how accurate this meaning is or isn't. It seems a modern name and I've NEVER heard it associated with Kendrick (which seems kind of ugly). I've seen other meanings elsewhere and with name lists often having inaccuracies, it's hard to know what to believe. I think most people would consider it a feminine version of Ken, which more people would assoiciate with Kenneth than Kendrick. Not really sure though. I like Kendra and Kenneth is ok, but not so fond of Kendrick.

This is my name and it means "ALL knowning woman".

This name is Gaelic for "water baby".

Kendra is not Irish for "water baby". That is ridiculous. Honestly, where do people get this stuff? It doesn't even resemble our words for "water" or "baby". And it isn't even spelt at all like an Irish word! We don't ever use "k"s, only "c"s.
