Andrij is Ukrainian in Origin.
An East Slavic given name, Andrij is the Ukrainian/Rusyn transliteration of Andriy (Андрій), ultimately from Greek Andreas, derived from anēr/andros “man; manly/brave.” The spelling with final j reflects Central/Eastern European orthography (j = consonantal y) and is common in diaspora communities. The name has been used since the Christianization of Kyivan Rus’, sustained by the cult of Saint Andrew the Apostle, to whom medieval legend credits a journey along the Dnipro and the hills of Kyiv; it remained popular through Cossack times and into modern Ukraine and the Carpathian region.
Close variants include Andriy/Andrii (Ukrainian), Andrei (Russian/Romanian), Andrej (Belarusian/Slovene/Slovak), Andrzej (Polish), Andrija (Croatian/Serbian/Bosnian), Andrew (English), Andreas (German/Greek/Scandinavian), André (French/Portuguese), and Andrés (Spanish). Diminutives and nicknames range from Ukrainian Andriyko and Andrus to internationally familiar Andy; feminine counterpart Andrea occurs across languages.
