What does the name Kaidra mean and what is its origin?

I like it very much. I´ve known it when I was reading something about Laisha Hailey and its her sister´s name.

What does the name Kaidra mean and what is its origin?
I wasn't able to find it's orgin. they probably made it up. It is pretty though.
Reply:It sounds made up, maybe like a mixture of 2 other names.





The closest match I could find was "Caitria". That's an Irish form of the name Katherine.





...And "Katherine" is... From the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine). The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name ‘Εκατερινη (Hekaterine), which came from ‘εκατερος (hekateros) "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek αικια (aikia) "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name".

I also found the name "Keturah"


Usage: Biblical, English


Other Scripts: קְטוּרָה (Hebrew)


Pronounced: ki-TOOR-a, kee-TYOOR-a [key]


Means: "incense" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament she was Abraham's wife after Sarah died.
Reply:I wasn't able to find it's orgin. they probably made it up. It is pretty though.
Reply:I think Kaidra means oasis. It is Arabic.

Here is one possible origin of your name.





Surname: Rankin


This long-established surname is of early medieval English and Scottish origin, and was developed from the medieval male given name "Rankin", a diminutive form of the given name "Rand(e)", with the hypocoristic suffix "-kin". Rand itself is a short form of any of the various (originally) Germanic compound personal names with the first element "rand" (shield) rim, such as Randolf, with the second element "wolf", wolf. The diminutive form of the name is first recorded in Scotland, where Rankin de Fowlartoun is mentioned in Charters of the Royal Borough of Ayr in 1429. Early examples of the surname include: Reginald Ranekyn (1296, Sussex); Ralph Rankin (1301, Yorkshire); John Randekyn (1381, Suffolk); and in Scotland, John Rankyne, burgess of Glasgow in 1456. The surname has a long history in Scotland; it was found early in Ayrshire, where persons of the name were "small proprietors" before the end of the 16th Century. One John Rankin was vicar of Girwane in 1504, and another John Rankin was vicar of Girwane in 1504, and another John Rankin was a tenant under the bishop of Aberdeen in 1511. The christening of Jon(athan), son of Paull Rankin, was recorded at the Church of St. Nicholas, Aberdeen, on May 12th 1657. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Gilbert Reynkyn, which was dated 1273, in the "Hundred Rolls of Kent", during the reign of King Edward 1, known as "The Hammer of the Scots", 1272 - 1307.

Reply:Rankin Surname Origin


This name may be derived from the Danish Rank, right, upright, erect. If the name is Gaelic, it would come from Roinn, a promontory, share, or division, and Ceann, head; the head of the promontory, a name of place. Ranken, in the Dutch, signifies pranks, tricks.
Reply:Please do not be confused by the earlier poster, and info about Samuel Rankin.


Unless you do your own family, nothing proves that every Rankin in the US is going to be descended from him, just because he is the earliest one they have found. Your ancestor may have been someone else entirely, who came to the US, a hundred years after his.


Until you know for certain, WHO your ancestor is.. you cannot assume that he comes from the same place as someone else.
Reply:English Patronymic name from the early given name Raedwulf, which means 'shield wolf.' It was popular in England before the Norman Conquest. The name eventually became Radulf. Randolph and Randall are among the derivatives.





Rankin is the 1,006th most common name in the United States.





Our earliest known Rankin ancestor is Samuel Rankin. He was born in Ohio in the late 1700s and eventually settled in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana abt. 1818. His ancestors probably came from Ireland or Scotland.
