Across the world, စန္ဒာ (Canda 
, စန္ဒာ 
) is a common mostly feminine, but infrequently masculine given name. The first name စန္ဒာ is characteristic of India, where it is quite a rare dominantly female, but seldom masculine name, the Dominican Republic, where it is a rare girly name, and Syria. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in India, Indonesia, and the United States. Very seldom, စန္ဒာ is the last name as well as the forename.
