Andrus is in Origin.
Andrus is an Estonian masculine given name, a vernacular form of Andrew that ultimately derives from Greek Andreas, from aner/andros "man," hence "manly, courageous." In the Belarusian language, Andrus' (transliterating Андрусь) is a familiar form of Andrej/Andrei. The name also occurs as a surname in the English-speaking world, though its forename use centers on the Baltic region.
Its use spread through Christian Europe via the cult of Saint Andrew the Apostle, and in Estonia it has been well established since the nineteenth century; notable bearers include statesman Andrus Ansip and writer Andrus Kivirähk. Related forms and cognates include Andrew, Andreas, André, Andrés, Andrei/Andrey, Andriy, Andrej, Andrzej, András, Anders, Andrius (Lithuanian), Andris (Latvian), and Icelandic Andrés; nicknames include Andu and Andy. Meaning-focused parents may appreciate its quiet strength and pan-European familiarity.
