Aindreas is Irish in Origin.
Aindreas is a Gaelic form of Andrew, ultimately from Greek Andreas, derived from anēr/andros meaning “man; manly, brave.” The spelling Aindreas appears in Irish and occasionally in Scottish Gaelic contexts, reflecting church-Latin Andreas. In modern Irish, the common equivalents are Aindrias and Aindriú; in Scottish Gaelic, the standard is Anndra. All descend from the widespread Christian name honored through the apostle Saint Andrew.
Use of Aindreas and its close variants spread through medieval Gaelic-speaking communities via ecclesiastical records and the cult of Saint Andrew - patron saint of Scotland - then saw revival-era visibility in modern Irish cultural life. Related forms across languages include Andrew (English), Andreas (German/Scandinavian/Greek), André (French/Portuguese), Andrés (Spanish), Andreu (Catalan), Andrei (Romanian/Russian), Andrzej (Polish), Andriy (Ukrainian), Anders (Scandinavian), and András (Hungarian). Common diminutives are Andy and Drew, while the meaning “manly” remains consistent across traditions.
