History & Origin

Yoandri belongs to Cuba's remarkable wave of invented Yo- names, made in the later twentieth century by joining fashionable syllables into fresh combinations. Most readers hear Andres or Andrei in the second half, a name from Greek andreios, 'manly; brave'. The first element is a fashion, not a word, so the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'yoh-AHN-dree').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, inventive, and Cuban-flavored.

Did you know? Cuba's Yo- names — Yoandri, Yoandry, Yoelvis — are a signature of recent generations, freely made and freely spelled; the -andri here points to Andres, from a Greek word for courage.
