Andrew

Andrew comes from the Greek name Andreas, derived from the element aner (genitive andros) meaning man or warrior. It was borne by Saint Andrew the Apostle, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus and the brother of Saint Peter, who became the patron saint of Scotland, Russia, and Greece. The name spread widely across Europe through Christianity and has given rise to numerous cognates and variants, including Andreas, André, Anders, Andrei, Andrés, and Drew.
