Andretta is Italian in Origin.
Andretta is a rare Italian feminine diminutive of Andrea, built with the affectionate suffix -etta. Via Latin Andreas and Greek Andreas (from aner/andros, “man, warrior; courageous”), it carries the time‑honored meanings “brave” and “strong.” The popularity of Saint Andrew across Europe helped spread Andrea and its offshoots, and Andretta appears in Italian records as a pet form that occasionally stands alone. Related forms include Andrea, Andreina, Andrietta/Andriette, Andressa (Portuguese), Andrée (French), Andrina/Andriana, and the masculine Andrew/André.
Usage is scattered: Andretta is attested in 19th–20th‑century Italy and among the Italian diaspora, and it surfaces sporadically in English‑speaking countries without sustained popularity. The spelling also overlaps with an Italian surname and a place name in Campania, which sometimes influences adoption. Friendly nicknames include Drea, Andi/Andie, Etta, and Retta.
