The story behind the name

Andrew is a masculine Greek name meaning “strong” or “manly.” This popular name denotes bravery and is a variant of the Greek name Andreas, derived from the aner, which translates to “man.” Andrew is a classic religious name, most notably associated with Jesus’s first Apostle—a kind and honorable man devoted to his faith and others. Andrew is a well-suited name for parent drawn to the courage and virtue that it symbolizes. Andrew is among the most appealing classic boys' names, with more character and charm than James or John. And there's a host of Andrew-inspired nicknames: Andy makes it friendlier, while Drew adds to its sophistication.
