Meaning & origin
Andreya is a modern spelling twist on the classic Andrea, which itself feminizes Andrew. First recorded in 1968, the name saw its peak usage in 1998, though it has never cracked the top 1,000. In 2025, it ranked 11,932 with a frequency of 1 in 229,610 births. The name has remained stable in recent years, appealing to parents seeking a familiar yet distinctive alternative to Andrea. While not concentrated in any particular state, Andreya fits a trend of creative spellings that emerged in the late 20th century.
Andreya is a modern spelling variant of Andrea, which is the feminine form of Andrew. Andrew derives from the Greek name Andreas, meaning 'manly' or 'strong'. While Andrea has been used in English-speaking countries since the 20th century, the Andreya spelling emerged later, likely influenced by names like Aaliyah or as a distinctive twist. It has never been highly common but has seen occasional use since the 1960s.
