Khandi

Khandi is a delightfully unique girl’s name linked to Candy and Candace. Candy originates from the Old French çucre candi, meaning “crystallized sugar,” with roots tracing back to the Arabic qandi, Sanskrit khanda, and Persian qand, which mean “cane sugar” and “piece of sugar.” Khandi’s ties to Candace, a hereditary title for the queens of Ethiopia, are mentioned in the New Testament. These royal women, known as the Candaces of Meroe, ruled over the ancient Kingdom of Kush, with Candace being the Latinized form of Kentake or Kandáke, meaning “queen mother” or “royal woman.” Whether it’s sweet treats or grand ambitions, little Khandi is destined to achieve great things with their charms and ambitions.
