Dreya is English in Origin.
Dreya is a modern English given name, commonly seen as a stylized short form of Andrea, with spelling influenced by Drea and Draya. Andrea descends from Greek Andreas, from aner/andros 'man' and andreios 'manly, brave', so Dreya carries the meaning 'strong' or 'courageous'. While Andrea has long histories across Europe - feminine in English and German (Romanian Andreea), masculine in Italian - Dreya emerged as a distinct, contemporary variant pronounced DRAY-uh.
As a standalone name, Dreya has seen modest use in the United States and other Anglophone countries since the late 20th century, aligning with the rise of nickname-as-given-name choices and -eya/-aya sounds. Public figures such as aerialist and actor Dreya Weber have helped familiarize the spelling. Related forms and variants include Drea, Draya, Andrea, Andréa, Andreea, Andria, Andra, and diminutives Andi/Andie.
