Its origins are Greek. Mainly from the word andros, meaning man or manly, a powerful warrior. Later to the word andreas, which is Greek for Andrew, named after one of the 12 apostles, or as we know him today, St. Andrew. The letter 's ' was added much later, for example that child is Andrew's, as in son of Andrew. You may also be a Macandrew. Anders, Anderson, Gillander, Gill meaning servant of. You may also be an Andrewes, with an extra ' e ' this is exactly the same as above, but quite rare.
