Andrzejek is in Origin.

Andrzejek is a Polish hypocoristic (affectionate diminutive) of Andrzej, the Polish form of Andrew, ultimately from Greek Andreas via Latin Andreas. The suffix -ek signals smallness or endearment, so Andrzejek conveys “little Andrew” or “dear Andrew.” As with all Andrew-forms, it carries the meaning “manly, courageous,” from Greek anēr/andros “man.”

While primarily used as a familiar or childhood name, Andrzejek appears in parish records and modern registries as an independent given name, especially in Poland and among the diaspora. Related Polish forms include the standard Andrzej and the older Jędrzej; common nicknames are Jędrek, Jędruś, and Andrzuś. International equivalents include Andrew (English), André (French/Portuguese), Andrés (Spanish), Andrei/Andrey (Romanian/Russian), and Andreas (German/Scandinavian/Greek). Choosing Andrzejek emphasizes warmth and intimacy while retaining the long-standing Christian and cultural heritage associated with Saint Andrew across Europe.
