Meaning & origin

Andretta is a rare Italian feminine name that saw its peak usage in 1969, according to Social Security Administration data. The name has never cracked the top 1000 and has remained stable in low usage since the 1960s. Its first recorded year is 1952, and it has consistently been given to a handful of girls each decade. Andretta carries a touch of Italian heritage through its similarity to the well-known surname Andretti, evoking a feminine and melodic sound.

Andretta is a feminine diminutive of Andrea, the Italian and Corsican form of Andrew. Andrew derives from the Greek 'Andreas' (manly), from 'aner' (man). The name was likely influenced by the Italian surname Andretti, native to Veneto, and gained usage as a given name in the 20th century.
