Meaning & History
First documented in inscriptions in Roman-era Aquitaine, this name was fairly common in the Middle Ages. Its origin and meaning are debated; theories include a derivation from Andos and a derivation from Basque andere "lady; woman; wife". In this day and age, it is considered a feminine form of Ander and a Basque cognate of Andresa and Andrée.
