History & Origin

Andron comes from the Greek andros, the root meaning man, and in ancient usage an andron was also the men's hall of a Greek house. As a given name it belongs to the wide Andrew family of masculine names built on that root. In America it was only ever lightly used, favored by a few families reaching for an uncommon classical sound.

Andron was never common in the United States. It appeared in records only in small numbers, given to fewer than twenty boys a year around its modest peak in the early nineteen-eighties.

Did you know? Andron shares its root with Andrew and Alexander, all growing from the Greek andros, man, though Andron stayed far rarer than its cousins in the United States.
