Andronikas is Greek in Origin.

Andronikas is the Lithuanian-adapted form of the Greek name Andronikos (Ανδρόνικος), built from anēr/andros “man” and níkē “victory,” hence “victory of a man” or “man of victory.” The Latinized Andronicus spread through early Christian and Byzantine records, and the name entered Baltic usage via historical and ecclesiastical contacts, taking the -as masculine ending standard in Lithuanian.

Borne by several Byzantine emperors - most notably Andronikos I Komnenos and Andronikos II–III Palaiologos - as well as saints and the New Testament figure Andronicus (Romans 16:7), the name carries a learned, imperial aura. Variants and cognates include Andronikos (Greek), Andronicus (Latin/English), Andronico/Andrónico (Italian/Spanish), and Andronik (Russian, Ukrainian); Lithuanian uses Andronikas. Feminine forms are Androniki (Greek) and Andronika. Informal short forms sometimes used include Andro and Nikos. Today the name is rare but recognizable in Greece, the Balkans, and Baltic countries, appreciated for its strong classical resonance.
