Meaning & origin
Andreus is a rare variant of the classic Andrew, with U.S. records dating back to 1980. It peaked in 2009 at rank 7,194 but remains uncommon, with only 1 in 155,280 newborn boys receiving the name in 2025. The trajectory has been stable, reflecting its niche but enduring appeal as an alternative to the more common Andrew. While no top states dominate, Andreus appears sporadically across the country, chosen by families seeking a distinctive twist on a traditional name.
Andreus is a variant of Andrew, derived from the Greek name Andreas, meaning 'manly' or 'brave'. Saint Andrew, one of the twelve apostles and the patron saint of Scotland, popularized the name throughout the Christian world. The form Andreus, while less common, appears as a Latinized version in early records and has seen occasional use in the United States since the 1980s.
