Skenandore Family History

Skenandore Surname Meaning

Native American (Oneida): from an American English altered form of a personal name borne by the famous Oneida chief (c. 1706–1816). Its reconstructed possible original form is Oskanondonha derived from an Oneida word for a deer.

The name may however alternatively be based on one of the Oneida words for hemlock since the chief said just before his death: “I am an aged hemlock. The winds of a hundred winters have whistled through my branches.”

Compare Schenandoah and Shenandoah.
