Re: St. Andrew (Hebrew name required) read on....
I have never heard of Andrew being a translation of a Hebrew name. However, if you translate it back, you will most likely end up with GEVER, "man, strong man, brave man." And this is a biblical male name (1 Kings 4:19), though a very rare one. More popular is GABRIEL, which at least contains the word "gever."
