Andrew is the English form from the Old French name Andreu / Andrieu (now French surnames), themselves from Latin Andreas, from Greek-derived given name Andreas (Greek: Ἀνδρέας). It is related to Ancient Greek: ἀνήρ/ἀνδρός aner/andros, "man" (as opposed to "woman"), thus meaning "manly" and, as consequence, "brave", "strong", "courageous", and "warrior".
