'''Andrew''' is the English form of a [[given name]] common in many countries. In the 1990s it was among the top ten most popular names for boys in [[List of countries where English is an official language|English-speaking countries]].<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.babycenter.com/babyname/names90.html|title = BabyCenter 1990s – Most Popular Names}}</ref> In [[Italian language|Italian]], the equivalent to "Andrew" is "[[Andrea]]", though "Andrea" is feminine in most other languages. "Andrew" is frequently shortened to "Andy" or "Drew".
The word is derived from the {{lang-el|Ανδρέας}}, ''[[Andreas]]'',<ref name="urlOnline Etymology Dictionary">{{cite web |url=http://etymonline.com/index.php?term=Andrew |title=Online Etymology Dictionary |format= |work= |accessdate=2 December 2011}}</ref> itself related to {{lang-grc|ἀνήρ/ἀνδρός}} ''aner/andros'', "man" (as opposed to "woman"), thus meaning "manly" and, as consequence, "strong", "courageous", and "warrior". In the [[King James Version|King James Bible]], the Greek "Ἀνδρέας" is translated as Andrew.<ref name="urlBible Concordance: Andrew">{{cite web |url=http://concordances.org/a/andrew.htm |title=Bible Concordance: Andrew |work= |accessdate=2 December 2011}}</ref>
