Andric is in Origin.

Andric traces to South Slavic onomastics as the diacriticless form of Andrić, a patronymic built on Andrija (Andrew). Andrija/Andrew come from Greek Andreas, from anēr/andros “man, manly, brave.” As a given name in its own right, Andric functions as a modern, streamlined variant within the broader Andrew/Andreas family.

Usage is long-standing in the Balkans as a surname; notable bearer Ivo Andrić (Nobel Prize 1961). The personal name is rare but appears in English-speaking countries and the South Slavic diaspora from the late 20th century onward, often chosen to honor heritage while sounding contemporary. Variants and cognates include Andrić (surname), Andrik/Andryk (Slavic diminutives), Andrick, Andrei, Andrej, Andriy, Andrey, Andrija, Andrew, and Andreas. The core meaning remains “manly; brave,” with the -ić element in the surname signaling “descendant of Andrija,” not altering the semantic base.
