What is the meaning of the name Andris ?

The baby name Andris is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AHN-dris.

Andris is Greek, Latvian in Origin.

Andris is the Latvian vernacular form of Andreas, the Greek New Testament name Ἀνδρέας. Its root is ancient Greek anḗr, genitive andrós, man, male; the name is related to andreîos, manly or masculine, with the stem andr- preserved before the Latvian masculine ending -is. The literal sense is therefore manly or masculine rather than a separate Baltic coinage.

The name belongs to the Christian naming stock spread through ecclesiastical Latin and local calendars by the cult of Saint Andrew the Apostle. In Latvia it stands beside Andrejs, while Lithuanian has Andrius and Estonian Andres. Usage is chiefly Latvian and diaspora-based; in the United States it appears sparsely in mid-20th-century birth records, reflecting Baltic immigration and postwar displacement more than general American fashion. Notable bearers include Latvian conductor Andris Nelsons and writer Andris Kolbergs.
