Meaning & Origin
a female given name
Andra is a girl's and boy's baby name of Greek origin, a feminine form of Andrew — from the Greek Andreas meaning 'strong' or 'manly.' As a standalone feminine name, Andra has been used in Scandinavian countries, Romania, and in the American South as a short, elegant alternative to Andrea or Sandra.
Romanian pop star Andra has given this name contemporary visibility in Eastern Europe. Clean, strong, and beautifully minimal — Andra says everything with the fewest possible letters.
