Meaning & Origin of Andreas
Meaning: Man, manly.
Origin: Greek (via Latin).
A common claim: Andreas means 'warrior' or 'brave warrior' Actually: Andreas literally derives from the Greek word for 'man' (anēr/andros), not 'warrior'; the 'brave/warrior' gloss is a loose extension from the related word andreios ('manly, courageous'), not a direct translation.
