Andriy is in Origin.

Andriy is the Ukrainian form of the Greek name Andreas, from andreios and aner/andros, meaning “manly, brave.” It entered East Slavic use with the spread of Christianity in Kyivan Rus’, sustained by veneration of the Apostle Andrew, whose legend links him to the hills of Kyiv, and by his feast traditionally observed in Ukraine on 13 December (Julian 30 November).

Modern Latin spellings include Andriy and Andrii (the latter reflecting official Ukrainian transliteration), with Andrij also seen. Diminutives include Andriyko. Cognates span Europe: Andrei/Andrey (Russian; Andrei also Romanian), Andrzej (Polish), Andrej (Slovene/Slovak/Serbo-Croatian), Andreas (German/Scandinavian/Greek), André (French/Portuguese), and Andrew (English). Regional feminine forms such as Andriana/Andriyana occur. The name remains common in Ukraine and the diaspora and is internationally recognizable through bearers like footballer Andriy Shevchenko and politician Andriy Yermak, keeping its classic meaning and strong, time-tested appeal.
