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.
Andrea moved from #185 to #235 for girls between 2024 and 2025. Its highest annual birth count came in 1981, with 11,686 births.
