Andrzej is Polish in Origin.
Andrzej is the standard Polish form of Andrew, ultimately from Greek Andreas, derived from anēr/andros “man,” conveying senses of “manly,” “brave,” or “strong.” In Polish it is pronounced roughly AHN-zhay. An earlier native form Jędrzej coexisted in medieval records.
The name spread with Christianity; devotion to the Apostle Andrew secured its steady use across centuries, with a 20th‑century peak. Poland’s St. Andrew’s Eve (Andrzejki) on November 29–30, famed for fortune‑telling customs, further embedded it. Diminutives include Andrzejek, Jędrek, and Jędruś. Cognates and variants span Andrew (English), André (French/Portuguese), Andrés (Spanish), Andreas (German/Scandinavian/Greek), András (Hungarian), Andrei/Andrey (Romanian/Russian), Andriy (Ukrainian), and Andrej (Slavic). Notable bearers include filmmaker Andrzej Wajda and author Andrzej Sapkowski, keeping the name strongly identified with Polish culture today.
