What is the meaning of the name Andra ?

The baby name Andra is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EN: AN-dra (/ˈændrə/),RO/other: AHN-dra (/ˈandra/).

Andra is in Origin.

Andra is a cross‑cultural given name rooted in the Greek element andr‑ (anēr, andros), “man; warrior,” yielding the sense “strong, courageous.” It appears as a feminine short form of Andrea/Andria and of Alexandra or Andreea in Romania, and as a distinct feminine name in Latvia alongside the masculine Andris. In Scots, Andra is the traditional vernacular form of Andrew and is borne by men, showing the name’s unisex footprint. English‑speaking usage treats Andra as a streamlined alternative to Andrea.

Records from the 20th century onward show modest but steady circulation, with U.S. data reflecting use for both sexes, more often female. Close variants and cognates include Andrea, Andria, Andreea, Andrina, Andriana, Andrada; masculine counterparts are Andrew, André, Andrei/Andrey, Anders, and Andreas. Common nicknames are Andi, Andie, and Andy. Across languages, the core meaning centers on bravery and manly strength - often reframed today as simply “bold,” “valiant,” or “strong-minded.”
