MEANING & HISTORY
What does Andring mean?
Andring is explicitly recorded as a diminutive of Andrea. That source establishes the longer base without requiring the spelling to match the full name letter for letter.
Andrea belongs to the Greek Andreas name family. The local familiar formation is the immediate explanation, distinct from a newly invented meaning for ring.
