wikipedia wrote:Andrew is the English form of a given name and surname common in many countries. Common alternative include Andrey, Andrei, or Andreiy. Other, less common, versions include ‘Andreas’, ‘Andrés’, ‘Anders’, ‘Endrew’, 'Andrej' and ‘André’. ‘Andrew’ is a common name in English-speaking countries. In the 1990s it was among the top ten most popular names for baby boys in those countries.[3] In Italian, the equivalent to ‘Andrew’ is ‘Andrea’, though ‘Andrea’ is feminine in most other languages.

The word comes from old greek 'aner/andros', meaning "male", like androids (similar than a man) and androgynous (male and female at same time, when gyne/gynaikos in old greek means female, as in the word gynaecologist). The name in fact is the adjective of the word "male", meaning exactly "masculine".

Andrew is frequently shortened to ‘Andy', `Randy` or ‘Drew’. Some religious figures and buildings of the Roman Catholic Church and other Christian denominations use the name Andrew, such as Saint Andrew the apostle, or the many churches named in the honor of Saint Andrew.
