Andrea, the Italian form of Andrew, comes from the Greek name Andreas and is derived from the Greek word andreios, meaning "manly" or "masculine." Though primarily a unisex name in Europe, Andrea is almost exclusively given to girls in the United States. In fact, it was a top 100 girl's name in the U.S. between 1962 and 2011 and has remained in the top 200 ever since, but hasn't appeared in the boy's top 1,000 since 1989.
