Meaning and history

Andrea is the Italian form of Andreas, from a Greek word meaning "manly" or "masculine," and is traditionally masculine in Italy while commonly feminine in English, German, Spanish and several other languages. Its international use therefore varies by culture rather than by origin. Notable bearers include Italian singer Andrea Bocelli, Renaissance sculptor Andrea del Verrocchio and English actress Andrea Riseborough.
