Andrew, the English form of the Greek name Andreas, comes from the Greek word andreios, meaning "manly" or "masculine," which itself is a derivative of aner, meaning "man." It's one of the few baby boy names to rank inside the top 100 in the United States every year since 1900. It was the 18th most popular boy's name for all births between 1924 and 2023, and was a top-10 name most years between 1986 and 2006.
