Meaning & origin
Andros is a Greek name that has seen a modest but steady rise in popularity since 2009, peaking in 2022. In 2025, it ranked 12,008 with about 1 in 341,615 boys receiving the name. The name's meaning, 'manly' or 'warrior,' ties it to ancient Greek roots, yet its modern usage is rare enough to feel distinctive. Andros has not yet broken into the top 1,000 names, and its low frequency makes it a unique choice for parents seeking a name with classical weight but contemporary rarity.
Andros is a Greek name derived from the root 'andros', the genitive of 'aner' meaning man. It is a short form of names like Andreas (Andrew) or Andronikos, and is also the name of a Greek island. The name has been used in modern times, particularly gaining visibility in the late 20th century.
