Androu is Greek in Origin.

Androu is a regional and diminutive form of Andrew/André, ultimately from Greek Andreas (Ανδρέας), rooted in anēr/andrós “man” and linked to andreía “courage,” yielding the sense “manly, brave.” The -ou ending reflects southern French and Occitan pet-name morphology and is also seen in Corsican and other Francophone dialects; in sound it parallels older Scots spellings like Androw, though Androu itself is chiefly Francophone.

Usage is modest but meaningful: Androu appears as a given name and, less often, a surname in Francophone contexts, sometimes chosen to honor Saint Andrew while signaling Occitan or island heritage. Close variants and cognates include André, Andrew, Andreas, Andreu (Catalan), Andrieu/Andriu (Occitan), Andreo (Breton), Andria (Corsican/Sardinian), Andro (Georgian/Slavic), and the modern short forms Drew and Andy. Feminine counterparts are Andrea and Andrée, with related forms like Andriana. Overall meaning: “manly,” “strong,” and “courageous.”
