Comments for the name Endre (1)

According to my Hungarian teacher, this is the oldest equivalent of Andrew. It is actually a pre-Christian name, unconnected to Andrew, though it is traditionally identified with it. Andras, the next oldest form, is genuinely derived from Andrew (or Andreas), and Andor was created to put a more Hungarian spin on it.

This is also used in Norway, and it is also the word for "to change".

One bearer of this name is the French surrealist painter, Endre Rozsda.

There's a Swedish actress named Lena Endre.
