What is the meaning of the name Andas ?

Andas is in Origin.

Andas is a rare modern given name most commonly interpreted as a short form or variant within the Andrew/Andreas family. That lineage traces to Greek Andreas, from anēr/andros “man,” by extension “manly; brave.” The -as ending mirrors forms found across Europe (e.g., Lithuanian and Greek masculine endings), which may explain its independent coinage in recent decades.

Documented use is sparse and contemporary, typically as a creative choice by parents seeking a succinct twist on Andrew‑based names. Cross-linguistic echoes add appeal: in Swedish, andas means “to breathe,” giving the name a calm, life-affirming undertone, while in Spanish and Tagalog, andas denotes a ceremonial litter carried in processions, suggesting tradition and reverence. Related variants and companions include Andreas, Anders, András/Andras, Andris, Andis, and Ando; diminutives Andy/Andi; feminine counterparts Andrea and Andra.
