Andronica is Greek in Origin.

Andronica is the Latinate feminine form of the Greek name Andronikos (Ανδρόνικος), built from anēr/andros “man, warrior” and níkē “victory.” The combined sense is “victory of the warrior” or “man’s victory,” often broadened to “triumphant in battle or courage.”

The masculine form appears early - Andronicus is greeted by Paul in Romans 16:7 - and later flourished in Byzantium, where several emperors bore it. The feminine existed alongside it: Greek Ανδρονίκη (Androniki) and Albanian Andronika are attested, most famously Andronika Arianiti (“Donika”), 15th‑century consort of Skanderbeg. The Latinized spelling Andronica surfaces in medieval and Renaissance Italian records, but today the name is rare, occasionally chosen in Eastern Orthodox circles or by parents seeking a classical, formidable choice. Variants and related forms include Androniki (Greek), Andronika (Albanian), Andronique (rare French), and the masculine Andronicus/Andronico/Andronikos.
