Andreu is in Origin.
Andreu is the Catalan form of Andrew, ultimately from Greek Andreas, derived from anēr/andros “man.” It conveys senses of “manly,” “brave,” and “valiant.” Used across Catalonia, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands, the name appears in medieval records and church rolls, and it also functions as a Catalan surname.
Veneration of Saint Andrew the Apostle - patron of fishermen, with a feast on 30 November - helped sustain its use, echoed in Catalan toponyms like Sant Andreu. Common equivalents include Andrew (English), Andrés (Spanish), André (French, Portuguese), Occitan Andrieu, Italian Andrea (masculine), Romanian Andrei, Russian Andrei/Andrey, Ukrainian Andriy, Polish Andrzej, Basque Ander, and Greek Andreas. Catalan diminutives include Andreuet or Dreu; feminine counterparts are Andrea and Andreia. Today Andreu feels traditional yet distinctively Catalan, with periodic revivals alongside regional cultural pride.
