What is the meaning of the name andrieu ?

The baby name andrieu is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ɑ̃.dʁjø/ (French); respelling: "ahn-dryuh".

andrieu is Greek in Origin.

Andrieu is a medieval French and Occitan form of André, ultimately from Latin Andreas and Greek Andreas, meaning "manly, brave," from Greek aner/andros ("man"). Attested in Old French charters and in trouvère repertory - most notably the 13th-century poet Andrieu Contredit d'Arras - it was a familiar personal name across northern and southern France.

Today Andrieu is rare as a given name and is encountered more often as a French surname; the prevailing modern French form is André, with regional Occitan Andreu/Andrieu also seen. Cognates and variants include Andrew (English), Andreas (German, Scandinavian, Greek), Andreu (Catalan, Occitan), Andrés (Spanish), Andrea (Italian; feminine in French and English), Andrei/Andrey (Romanian, Russian), Andriy (Ukrainian), and Andrzej (Polish). Common diminutives are Andy and Drew, while French uses Dédé for André. The French feminine counterpart is Andrée. Overall, Andrieu carries the enduring "manly, courageous" sense of the Andrew family.
