Meaning & origin
Anndrea is a modern American name that arose as a creative respelling of Andrea, itself a feminine form of Andrew. It first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1961. The name reached its highest frequency in 1985, reflecting the popularity of similar -drea endings in the 1980s. Since 1993, however, its use has been steadily declining, and as of 2025 it remains outside the top 1000 rankings. Anndrea's trajectory mirrors the broader trend of invented or altered spellings that peaked in the late 20th century but have since given way to simpler forms. Unlike many names of its kind, it is not concentrated in any particular state, suggesting scattered, nationwide use. Parents who choose Anndrea today may appreciate its connection to both the traditional Ann and the more modern Andrea, offering a distinctive yet familiar option.
