Andrey (Андрей) is a masculine given name predominantly used in Slavic languages, including Belarusian, Bulgarian, and Russian. The name is derived from the ancient Greek Andreas (Ἀνδρέας), meaning "man" or "warrior".[1]
In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Andrey holds religious significance, particularly due to Saint Andrew, the patron saint of several countries, whose legacy has contributed to the name’s popularity across Orthodox nations.[2]
