Andreea
From a Greek root meaning "manly", though in Poland the name belongs entirely to women: 133 of them, so few that most Poles have never met one. A couple of girls got it last year, a faint sign of life on a tiny base.
Andreea Pronunciation
What Andreea means
Where Andreea comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
The name Andreea grows from a single Greek word, andreios, meaning manly. Behind it stands anēr, genitive andros, the ordinary Greek word for a man. From that root the Greeks built Andreas, the name Latin passed westward and Polish settled as Andrzej.
Andreea is the feminine branch of that family, and here the meaning turns curious. A name built on andros, man, given to a daughter. The literal sense, męski and mężny, was never a description of the girl. It came attached to the root and stayed there, a fossil inside the sound.
Picture a Romanian Andreea on an Erasmus list in a Kraków lecture hall, her name two seats above an Andrzej. Same origin, split long ago.
The Polish men who share that root celebrate on the thirtieth of November, at Andrzejki. Andreea keeps an older spelling of the same idea, andreios, manly.
