Andrejek is Slavic in Origin.
Andrejek is a Slavic diminutive of Andrej, the regional equivalent of Andrew, ultimately from Greek Andreas, rooted in anēr/andros “man” and conveying “manly, brave.” The affectionate suffix -ek/-jek is common in West and South Slavic naming (notably Slovene, Slovak, Czech, and Polish), signaling familiarity or youth; this particular spelling aligns with Slovene and some West Slavic orthographies.
As a pet form it appears in family speech and local records and is sometimes formalized as an independent given name today, though it remains rare. The wider name family is sustained by the veneration of Saint Andrew, so name days often fall around 30 November across Europe. Close variants include Andrej (Slovene/Slovak/Serbo-Croatian), Andrei/Andrey (Romanian/Russian), Andriy (Ukrainian), Andrzej (Polish), Andreas (Greek, German, Scandinavian), and Andrew (English). Related diminutives are Andrejko (Slovak/Slovene), Andrzejek or Jędrek (Polish), and Andryusha (Russian).
