Meaning & origin

Jedrek is a Polish given name that entered U.S. naming records in 1989. It is a diminutive of Jedrzej, the Polish equivalent of Andrew, and carries a distinctly Slavic character. The name saw its highest recorded usage in 2018, but its frequency has been declining since 2017, as noted by its trajectory. Despite its rarity (no rank or one-in-N data is available), Jedrek appeals to families looking to honor Polish heritage or seeking a short, strong-sounding name uncommon in English-speaking countries. Its top states are not recorded, reflecting its very sparse distribution across the country. Jedrek remains a distinctive choice, rooted in Eastern European naming traditions.

Jedrek is a Polish given name typically considered a diminutive of Jedrzej, which is the Polish form of Andrew. Andrew derives from the Greek name Andreas, meaning 'manly' or 'masculine.' As a standalone name, Jedrek gained modest use in the United States beginning in the late 20th century, primarily among families of Polish heritage.
