Andros
Meaning of Andros
Andros traces its roots to ancient Greece as a regional variant of Andreas, deriving from the Greek word for “man” or “manly.” It also evokes the Aegean island of Andros, famed for its maritime heritage and rugged limestone cliffs. In contemporary America, the name maintains a modest but steady presence—hovering in the lower 900s of the popularity rankings and recording ten births in 2024—so it’s unlikely to become ubiquitous on the playground. Pronounced AHN-dros in Greek (/ˈændroʊs/) and AN-dros in English (/ˈændrəs/), Andros combines classical depth with a concise, streamlined sound. For parents seeking a name that nods to history without courting overuse, Andros offers a quietly distinctive choice.
