Andrew is how English renders the Greek Andreas, from andreios, “manly”, which derives from aner, “man”.
In the New Testament the apostle Andrew is the first disciple to follow Jesus and the brother of Simon Peter. As a Greek name it may have been a nickname or a translation of his Hebrew name, which is unknown. Saint Andrew is the patron of Scotland, Russia, Greece and Romania, and the name was common across Christendom.
Six letters bring Andrew to 29, and the 11 at the end of the sum is not reduced.
An Andrew often reads a room before a word is said, senses when a colleague is struggling and may follow a hunch that others call unreasonable. Ideals matter to him, and he can be hard on himself when he falls short.
The vowels A and E total 6: loyalty, a stable home, a wish to be useful to the people he loves. N, D, R and W total 5, a quick and adaptable manner. Variety attracts him, new methods are quickly absorbed and change holds little fear.
A, a 1, starts the name and also starts his vowels, so the face he shows and his first move coincide: direct, confident and ready to go.
Sensitivity, care and mobility make a profile that is both inward and active, at times torn between what is ideal and what is possible, which is exactly where his intuition proves useful.
In 2025, Andrew ranked No. 334 among boys’ names in England and Wales.
