Andreas (Greek: Ἀνδρέας) is a name usually given to males in Armenia, Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, Flanders, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Sweden and Switzerland. The name derives from the Greek noun ἀνήρ anēr, with genitive ἀνδρός andros, which means "man".[1] See the article on Andrew for more information. The Scandinavian name is earliest attested as antreos in a runestone from the 12th century.[2]

The name Andrea may be used as a feminine form, but is instead the main masculine form in Italy and the canton of Ticino in Switzerland.
