History & Origin

Andhy traces to Andy, and through it to Andrew, from the Greek Andreas 'manly.' In Spanish-speaking families it can equally shorten Andres. The extra h changes the look, not the sound; it stays a two-beat, friendly name carrying Andrew's ancient sense of strength.

As its own spelling it is very recent and very rare, appearing around 1998 and 1999 and given to only about sixteen boys at its brief peak. A boy named Andhy would still be young, sharing a generation with the late-nineties children.

Did you know? Andy has been a warm nickname for Andrew for generations, but this Andhy spelling with a silent h is a modern rarity, clustered in the late nineteen-nineties and given to only a handful of boys.
