Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

The name Andreas is of Greek origin and means 'manly', 'brave', or 'valiant'.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Pochádza zo starogréckeho mena Ἀνδρέας (Andréas), ktoré sa vykladá z prídavného mena ἀνδρεῖος (andreios), teda „mužný, statočný, udatný“. Jeho základom je podstatné meno ἀνήρ (anēr), v genitíve ἀνδρός (andros), s významom „muž“. Latinská podoba Andreas je prevzatím gréckeho mena, nie samostatným pôvodom.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Grécky pôvod, význam a novozákonné doloženie: Lexicon of Greek Personal Names, Oxford. Etymologický výklad: Behind the Name – Andrew. Medzinárodné ekvivalenty a domácka podoba Andi: Behind the Name – Andreas. Slovenské pádové tvary: Eduself – Andreas. Použitie oslovenia Andy v slovenskom prostredí dokladá aj používateľské svedectvo; nejde o kodifikačný zdroj. Podoby Andy a Andi sú prevzaté neformálne skráteniny. Andrejko a Aďo sa bez osobitného dokladu neprenášajú z mena Andrej; Andreasik sa neuvádza ako doložená slovenská domácka podoba.
