English form of the Greek name Ανδρεας (Andreas), which was derived from ανδρειος (andreios) "manly, masculine", a derivative of ανηρ (aner) "man". In the New Testament the apostle Andrew, the first disciple to join Jesus, is the brother of Simon Peter. According to tradition, he later preached in the Black Sea region, with some legends saying he was crucified on an X-shaped cross. Andrew, being a Greek name, was the only Greek translation of his real Hebrew name, which was Gavri'EL.
The meaning of Gavri'EL or Gavriel ist "My strength from God" or "The strong through God" and the Greek translation of Andrew from the Greek adjective "Andreios" is similar and equally meaning - it means "The Strong" or "The Brave" or "The Strength".
