Andreas is Greek in Origin.

Andreas is the Greek form of a classical name rooted in ἀνήρ/ἀνδρός (anēr/andros, “man”), via ἀνδρεῖος (“manly, brave”). In the New Testament it names the apostle Andrew (Greek: Andreas), which propelled its adoption across Greek-speaking and later Christian worlds. The meaning is commonly rendered “manly,” “courageous,” or “warrior-like,” reflecting ancient ideals of valor.

Use as Andreas is standard in Greece, Cyprus, Germany, Austria, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and much of Central and Eastern Europe, attested since medieval times through Byzantine and Latin records and sustained by the cult of Saint Andrew (feast 30 November). International variants include Andrew (English), André (French/Portuguese), Andrés (Spanish), Andrei (Romanian/Russian), Andriy (Ukrainian), Andrzej (Polish), Andrej (Slavic), Anders (Scandinavian), András and Endre (Hungarian), and Italian Andrea (masculine; also a feminine form in several languages). Diminutives and short forms include Andy, Andi, Drew, and in Greek Andrikos and Androulis.
