History & Origin

Jedrek is a Polish diminutive of Jedrzej, itself the Polish form of Andrew, from the Greek Andreas, 'manly.' Spelled with accents at home and plainly abroad, it reaches American records through Polish immigrant and heritage families rather than through any English-language fashion.

Unusually for this group its high is recent, around 2018, though it appears from the late nineteen-eighties; it has always been scarce. A boy named Jedrek at that peak is still a child today.

Did you know? In Poland, Jedrek is the everyday nickname for Jedrzej, much as Andy stands in for Andrew in English, and it lands in the United States mainly with Polish heritage families.
