What is the meaning of the name Andros ?

Andros is Greek in Origin.

Andros is a Greek-derived masculine name rooted in anḗr/andrós, “man,” the source of Andrew/Andreas. It works either as a clipped form of Andreas or as a nickname extracted from Alexandros (Alexander), where -andros means “of men.” The name therefore carries senses of “manly,” “virile,” and by extension “brave.” Andros also resonates as a toponym, sharing its form with the Cycladic island of Ándros, lending a maritime, Hellenic aura.

While Andros itself is modern as a standalone name, its family has deep Christian and classical currency through Saint Andrew and Alexander the Great. Usage today appears in Greek diaspora and among English speakers seeking a crisp alternative to Andrew or Alexander. Related and variant forms include Andrew, Andreas, André, Andrés, Andrei/Andrey/Andriy, Andrzej, Anders, András, plus short forms Andy, Andro, and Dre; feminine or unisex relatives are Andrea and Andra. Cognate -andros names include Alexandros, Leandros, Lysandros, and Evandros.
