MEANING & HISTORY
What does Andrés mean?
Andrés is the Spanish form of Andreas, the Greek name behind Andrew. Andreas derives from andreios, meaning manly or masculine, rather than from a word that literally means warrior.
The apostle Andrew belongs to the same name family. The written accent marks the Spanish stress and is part of this recorded spelling, distinguishing Andrés from an unaccented transcription without changing its ancestry.
