Name Meaning

Mainly North American and Australian: as a boy's name this originated as a pet form of Randall , Randolf , or Andrew . As a girl's name it may have originated either as a transferred use of the boy's name or else as a pet form of Miranda ( compare Randa ). It is now fairly commonly used as an independent name, mainly by men, in spite of the unfortunate connotations of the colloquial adjective meaning ‘lustful’.
