What is the meaning of the name Andry ?

The baby name Andry is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈæn.dri/ (AN-dree); Malagasy often /ˈandri/ (AHN-dree).

Andry is in Origin.

Andry has two chief etymologies. In Madagascar, it is a common masculine given name from Malagasy andry, “pillar, post; support,” evoking steadiness and reliability; it spread to the Malagasy diaspora in the late 20th century and remains popular in contemporary civic and cultural spheres.

Elsewhere, Andry functions as a spelling variant or colloquial form of the Andrew family of names, ultimately from Greek Andreas (from aner/andros, “man; manly, brave”). Through Church Slavonic and Russian it appears as Andrey/Andrei, Ukrainian Andriy, and Belarusian Andrei; French and English records sometimes render these as Andry. Related variants include Andrew, André, Andreas, Anders, Andri (Icelandic), Andrei/Andrey, Andriy, and nicknames Andy/Andie; the feminine counterpart is Andrea. Usage is predominantly masculine, though the short, international shape has prompted occasional unisex adoption in modern contexts.
