Andreus is Greek in Origin.

Andreus is a Latinized variant of the Greek name Andreas (Ἀνδρέας), derived from anēr/andrós, “man,” hence “manly, courageous.” The form Andreus occurs in classical and Neo-Latin sources and is attached to a minor figure in Greek mythology - a Boeotian hero named Andreus - so it carries a subtle mythic resonance. Through its root, the name is related to Andrew, long established across Christian Europe via the apostle Saint Andrew, which gave the name enduring prestige and wide diffusion in many languages.

In contemporary use, Andreus is uncommon and tends to feel scholarly, lyrical, or fantasy-tinged, while remaining immediately intelligible. Variants and cognates include Andrew, Andreas, Andrei, Andrey, André, Andrés, Anders, Andrzej, Andrius, Andreu, Andrej; feminine counterparts are Andrea and Andreea. Short forms can be Andy, Drew, or Dre. Meaning centers on “manly/brave” and, by extension, “warrior-like,” a timeless virtue-name profile without losing its Hellenic elegance.
