History & Origin

Andreya is a modern American respelling of Andrea, the feminine of Andrew, from Greek Andreas and andreios, 'brave; manly'. Andrea has long been used in English, Italian (where it is a boys' name) and across Europe; Andreya swaps in a Y without changing the sound (said 'an-DRAY-uh').

It appears only rarely in the U.S., far behind Andrea. Rare in spelling, familiar in sound.

Did you know? Andrea and Andreya both grow from Greek andros, 'man', by way of andreios, 'brave' — the root that also gives Andrew (said 'an-DRAY-uh').
