Andy

Andy is an English short form of Andrew, which derives from the Greek name Andreas, built on the root aner (genitive andros), meaning man or male. The name became widely used in the English-speaking world as both a nickname and an independent given name, partly through the enduring popularity of Saint Andrew, the apostle and patron saint of Scotland. Notable bearers include Andy Warhol, the American artist, and Andy Garcia, the Cuban-American actor. Andrea, Anders, Andreas, and Drew are closely related forms found across various languages and cultures.
