Andre Pronunciation
Andre is pronounced AHND-re (/ˈandrɛ/).
What Andre means
Where Andre comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Andre grows from the Greek Andreas, built on andros, the word for man. The old sense was manly, a warrior's quality, what a Greek speaker heard in someone strong. Saint Andrew the apostle bore Andreas first, and from him the name traveled west into English-speaking countries, where Andre took its clipped, modern shape.
In English the name reads as direct and unfussy. It answers to the meaning it began with: manly, warrior. Picture a boy named Andre on a Polish school register, sitting a few lines from the Andrzejs, close to them in root yet spelled for a different ear.
The pull toward the warrior sense is no folk tale. Andros means man, and "manly" follows straight from it. That is why Andre still feels sturdy to people who meet it. Short and firm.
