Andrey (Андрей) is a masculine given name predominantly used in Slavic languages, including Belarusian, Bulgarian, and Russian. The name is derived from the ancient Greek Andreas (Ἀνδρέας), meaning "man" or "warrior".
In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Andrey holds religious significance, particularly due to Saint Andrew, the patron saint of several countries, whose legacy has contributed to the name’s popularity across Orthodox nations.
In Spanish-speaking countries, Andrey can be interpreted as a portmanteau of the name Andrés and Rey, the Spanish word for king.
