Andrew is the English form of the given name, common in many countries. The word is derived from the Greek: Ἀνδρέας, Andreas,[1] itself related to Ancient Greek: ἀνήρ/ἀνδρός aner/andros, "man" (as opposed to "woman"), thus meaning "manly" and, as consequence, "brave", "strong", "courageous", and "warrior". In the King James Bible, the Greek "Ἀνδρέας" is translated as Andrew.[2]
