Andreas Name Meaning
Greek; also German and Dutch: from the New Testament Greek name
Andreas, which gave rise to Andrew in English and
vernacular derivatives in almost every other European
language. Etymologically, it is from Greek andreios ‘manly’,
from aner ‘man’, ‘male’ (genitive andros). It was the
name of the first of Christ’s disciples, and is a Greek translation of
an Aramaic original. The disciple is the patron saint of both Scotland
and Russia, but the Scottish Anderson is far more common than
its Russian equivalent, Andreev. The personal name was popular
throughout Europe in various vernacular forms (for example, Italian
Andrea, French André, Scottish, North German, and
Scandinavian Anders, Dutch Andries, Hungarian
András, Czech Ondrej, Slovak Ondrej, Polish Andrzej and
Jedrzej, and Russian Andrei).
