Jedreck is in Origin.

Jedreck is most plausibly an Anglicized spelling of the Polish Jędrek (also Jedrek), a familiar short form of Andrzej, the Polish equivalent of Andrew. Through Andrzej it traces back to Greek Andreas, from andreios/aner meaning “manly,” “courageous,” or “strong.” The nasal vowel ę in Jędrek is often rendered as e in non-Polish contexts, and the -ck ending in Jedreck reflects an English-friendly adaptation while preserving the original sound (roughly JED-rek).

As a call-name, Jędrek appears in Polish parish records and folk literature, while Andrzej has long-standing usage due to the cult of Saint Andrew the Apostle; Polish name day traditions (Andrzejki) fall on 30 November. Jedreck remains rare but is used in the Polish diaspora as a distinctive given name. Related forms include Jedrek/Jędrek, Jędrzej, Andrzej; and internationally Andrew, André, Andrés, Andrei/Andrey, Andrej. Diminutives and cognates include Andy and Drew; feminine counterparts include Andrea and Andreea.
