Jedrek is in Origin.
Jedrek is a Polish form of Jędrek, a familiar diminutive of Andrzej and the older variant Jędrzej - both equivalents of Andrew. Ultimately from Greek Andreas (“andreios,” meaning “manly, brave”), the name carries connotations of courage and masculine vigor. In Polish, Jędrek is pronounced roughly YEN-drek; the diacritic-free Jedrek is common in international contexts and can be read as JED-rek in English. Though traditionally a nickname, it is occasionally used as an independent given name in modern Poland and the Polish diaspora.
The broader naming tradition is anchored by the cult of Saint Andrew the Apostle, with Polish customs such as Andrzejki (St. Andrew’s Eve) reinforcing the name’s cultural presence. Related forms include Andrzej (standard Polish), Jędrzej (archaic), and the affectionate Jędruś. International cognates and variants span Andrew, Andreas, Andrei/Andrey/Andriy, Andrés, and András. Jed is a straightforward Anglicized short form.
