Andres

Boy name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Andres: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2020.

Andres is the Spanish, Estonian, and Scandinavian form of Andrew, ultimately derived from the Greek name Andreas, meaning “manly” or “warrior.” One of its most celebrated bearers was Andrés Segovia, the groundbreaking Spanish classical guitarist who elevated the guitar to concert-hall status, and more recently, Andrés Iniesta, the elegant Spanish footballer who scored the winning goal in the 2010 World Cup final. While no major places are directly named after these figures, the shared root of “Andrew” appears in place names worldwide, such as the Scottish town of St Andrews. A notable variant is the French André or the German Andreas, but Andres remains a crisp, international choice that feels both classic and modern—a name that fits naturally into Scotland’s diverse naming landscape, where traditional Scottish Andrew sits alongside this equally proud European cousin.
