Andraemon is Greek in Origin.
Andraemon is a rare masculine name of Ancient Greek origin, from Ἀνδραίμων (Andraímōn), built on anēr/andros “man” and the adjective haimōn “skillful, wily, capable.” The sense is “man of skill,” “capable man,” or “clever man.” The Latinized form Andraemon is common in classical texts; alternate transliterations include Andraimon and the simplified Andremon. Related names sharing the andr- root include Andreas and Andronikos, though Andraemon remains distinct.
In Greek mythology the name is borne by several figures: an Aetolian prince Andraemon who married Gorge, daughter of Oeneus, and fathered Thoas, the Aetolian leader at Troy; and another Andraemon named as the father of Oxylus, guide of the Heraclids. These appearances fixed the name in Hellenic legend but it never became widespread in later Greek or Christian usage. Today it is an uncommon, literary choice with a strong classical aura and crisp, heroic cadence.
Andraemon does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
