Andi
Meaning of Andi
Andi strolls onto the naming stage like a Vespa zipping through the sun-splashed streets of Florence—compact, spirited, and impossible to ignore. Technically a pet form of the Italian Andrea (itself drawn from the Greek andreios, “brave, strong”), this lively nickname has shed its training wheels to stand on its own, especially for baby girls. In the United States, Andi’s numbers have hovered around the lower half of the Top 1000 for decades, rising gently in recent years—proof that parents keep rediscovering her charm without letting her become too familiar. She carries the quiet resolve of a Renaissance heroine, yet her double-consonant ending gives off the friendly wink of a modern barista who already knows your order. Pronounced simply AN-dee, the name feels both soft as tiramisù and sturdy as Roman travertine, offering a balance of sweetness and strength. For families seeking a short, bright name with a dash of Mediterranean sun, Andi is amore at first sound.
