Meaning & origin

Andreea is a distinctly Romanian name that entered U.S. records in 1984 and saw its peak usage in 2005, after which its popularity has been declining. Although no longer in the top ranks, it remains a recognizable and culturally meaningful choice. The name is closely tied to Romanian heritage and is a feminine counterpart to the widely used Andrew. Its trajectory since 2005 reflects broader naming trends away from certain traditional forms, but Andreea retains a classic appeal with a European flair.

Andreea is the Romanian feminine form of Andrew, which derives from the Greek name Andreas, meaning 'manly' or 'virile.' The name Andrew was borne by one of the twelve apostles, and its feminine counterparts have been used across Christian cultures. In Romania, Andreea gained popularity in the late 20th century and has been a common choice for girls since the 1990s.
