Andria

Girl name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Andria: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1974.

Of Greek origin, Andria is the feminine form of Andrew, carrying the meaning "manly" or "brave" – a quality traditionally associated with strength and courage. Its most famous bearer is the American actress Andria Hall, known for her role in the TV series *The Cosby Show*, though the name is also shared with Andria, a city in southeastern Italy whose name likely predates the Greek root. The Italian city of Andria shares a different etymological path, possibly deriving from an ancient pre-Roman settlement. While less common than Andrea or Andrina in Scotland, Andria has a melodic, Mediterranean feel that sets it apart. Its close variant, Andriana, offers a more elaborate alternative that has seen occasional use north of the border.
