Andrea: 1,934 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to both boys and girls, peaking at 158 births in 1974.

Andrea stems from the Greek Andreas, meaning "manly" or "brave," and is the feminine form of Andrew, though in Italy it remains a common male name. Famous bearers include the blind Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, whose voice has moved millions, and the Renaissance painter Andrea Mantegna. The name also echoes through modern pop culture with Irish singer Andrea Corr of The Corrs. While not directly a place name, Andrea shares its root with St. Andrew, Scotland's patron saint, giving it a subtle Scottish resonance. A notable variant is the French Andrée, and the name has enjoyed steady popularity across Europe and the English-speaking world,
