DeAndrei is in Origin.

DeAndrei blends the Romance prefix De- with Andrei, a Slavic and Romanian form of Andrew (Greek Andreas), yielding the sense “manly, brave.” The De- element, familiar from French surnames meaning “of/from,” became a creative prefix in late-20th-century African American naming, producing forms like DeAndre and De’Andre; DeAndrei likely emerges within that same tradition, sometimes styled with an apostrophe or accent.

Usage is primarily modern and U.S.-based, appearing in records from the 1980s onward, though it remains rarer than DeAndre. Related variants include DeAndre, De’Andre, DeAndray, DeAndré, DeAndrae, and DeAndrea; root forms are Andre, Andrei, Andrew, Andreas, and the Slavic Andrey. Short forms Dre, De, and Andy/Andi occur informally. As with all Andrew-derivatives, the underlying meaning traces to Greek anēr/andr-, “man, warriorlike,” linking DeAndrei to a long pan-European name family with biblical resonance via Saint Andrew.
