Drea is Italian in Origin.
Drea (pronounced DRAY-uh, sometimes DREE-uh) is a clipped form and modern standalone name from Andrea, itself from Greek Andreas, tied to andreios "manly, courageous." The sense is often rendered today as "strong" or "brave," giving Drea a compact, upbeat meaning. Like Andrea, it can be unisex, though in contemporary English it leans feminine.
As a nickname it appears across Europe; as an independent given name it rose in the late 20th century, especially in the United States, helped by actress Drea de Matteo. Related forms include Andrea, Andria, Andra, Andrée (French), Andreea (Romanian), and Ondrea; short forms Dree and Dre; and spellings Draya and Dreya. Cognates from the same root - Andrew, André, Andrés, Andreas - share the core theme of courage and strength.
