Andrej is Slavic in Origin.
Andrej is a South and West Slavic form of Andrew, ultimately from Greek Andreas, built on anēr/andros “man,” with the sense of “manly, brave.” Through the spread of Christianity and the cult of Saint Andrew the Apostle, the name entered parish records and royal courts across Central and Southeastern Europe, remaining steadily used in Slovene, Slovak, Croatian, Serbian, and Macedonian communities. In Orthodox lands its close cousins flourished as well, and the name appears widely in medieval charters, saints’ calendars, and modern civil registries.
Regional variants include Andrei (Romanian, also a transliteration from Russian), Andrey (Russian), Andriy/Andrii (Ukrainian), Andrzej (Polish), Ondřej (Czech), Andrius (Lithuanian), Andreas (Greek/German/Scandinavian), Andrew and André. Within South Slavic areas, Andrej stands beside Andrija and Slovene Andraž. Common diminutives and nicknames are Andi/Andy, Andro, Andrejko, and Andrik. The name carries strong pan-European recognition while retaining a distinctly Slavic spelling, making it both traditional and internationally accessible.
