Ander is Basque in Origin.
Ander is a Basque given name corresponding to Andrew, ultimately from Greek Andreas, rooted in aner/andros, “man,” hence “manly, brave.” In the Basque Country it functions as a fully independent name rather than a nickname, and its use expanded across Spain and into wider Europe and the Americas in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, helped by interest in succinct, cross-lingual names with familiar Christian heritage via the apostle Andrew.
Closely related forms include English Andrew (Andy), Greek/Scandinavian Andreas, Spanish Andrés, Catalan/Valencian Andreu, Scandinavian Anders, French and Portuguese André, English/French Andre, Italian and Swiss Andrea (traditionally male), and Slavic Andrei/Andrej. Ander is often kept as-is, but informal short forms such as Andy, Andi, or Dre occur in English contexts. Rare feminine counterparts are culture-specific (e.g., Italian Andrea), but Ander itself is masculine.
