What is the meaning of the name Andres ?

The baby name Andres is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish: /anˈdɾes/ (ahn-DRES); English: /ˈændrɛs/ (AN-dres).

Andres is Greek in Origin.

Andres stems from Greek Andreas, derived from anēr/andros, meaning “man; manly, brave.” In Spanish it appears as Andrés (accented), though the unaccented Andres is widely used in English contexts and across Latin America and the Philippines. In Estonia, Andres is a long-established given name independent of the Spanish form. The name carries a strong, timeless aura tied to courage and steadfastness.

Its reach owes much to Saint Andrew the Apostle, whose veneration spread the name throughout Christian Europe. Usage has remained steady in Spanish-speaking countries, rose in the United States in the late 20th century alongside Hispanic naming trends, and has been familiar in Estonia, notably through literature such as A. H. Tammsaare’s classic “Truth and Justice.” Variants and cognates include Andrew, Andrés, André, Andreas, Andrei, Andrey, Andriy, Anders, Andreu, Aindriú, and Aindreas; common nicknames include Andy and Andre.
