Meaning & origin
Andrez is a rare and distinctive variant of the classic name Andrew, part of a broader family that includes Andrés in Spanish and André in Portuguese. First recorded in U.S. data in 1924, the name saw its peak usage in 2009, but has since declined. With only 1 in 142,340 male births receiving the name in 2025, it offers parents a highly uncommon choice that still carries the familiar weight of its root name. The trajectory has been falling since 2008, with the most use occurring during the 2000s decade. While no states recorded notable concentrations, Andrez illustrates how even the most obscure names contribute to the rich tapestry of American naming practices.
Andrez is likely a spelling variant of Andrés (Spanish) or André (Portuguese), both deriving from the Greek name Andreas, meaning 'manly'. The name entered Spanish and Portuguese through early Christian usage, particularly via Saint Andrew. While Andrez is a rare form, it follows patterns of z-ending variants that emerged in Iberian naming traditions.
