Jedrej is Polish in Origin.
Jedrej is a rare Slavic given name linked to the Polish Jędrzej/Jedrzej, a traditional form of Andrew. All descend from Greek Andreas, from aner/andros, meaning "man; manly, courageous." The diacritic-free, streamlined spelling makes Jedrej an internationally readable variant aligned with the archaic Polish form while retaining a distinctly Slavic feel.
The name traces back to medieval Poland, where Jędrzej appeared in records alongside the now-dominant Andrzej, under the influence of the widespread cult of St. Andrew the Apostle. Usage waned in the 19th-20th centuries but sees niche revival among parents seeking heritage names. Related forms include Andrzej (Polish), Andrej (Slovene/Slovak/Serbo-Croatian), Andrei/Andrey (East Slavic), Ondřej (Czech), Andrius (Lithuanian), André/Andrés/Andrea/Andrew/Andreas. Polish diminutives include Jędrek and Jędruś; Jed may serve as an English nickname. Name day traditions often follow St. Andrew's feast (30 November).
We can't find Jedrej in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whichever it is, scarcely anyone else carries it.
