Meaning & origin
Amdrew is a rare modern respelling of Andrew, first recorded in the United States in 1971. It reached its peak use in 1988 but has never entered the top 1000 names, reflecting its status as an uncommon choice. The name has remained stable in usage over the decades, never appearing in any state's top baby name lists. As a creative variant, Amdrew appeals to parents seeking a distinctive twist on a traditional name.
Amdrew is a modern English respelling of Andrew, which itself derives from the Greek name Andreas, meaning 'manly' or 'warrior'. The variant spelling with an 'm' instead of 'n' first appeared in U.S. records in 1971, likely a deliberate modification for uniqueness.
