Meaning & Origin
Andor 2 is a Hungarian variant of András, the Hungarian form of Andrew. It is a masculine given name used primarily in Hungary. As a variant form, Andor 2 shares the same etymology as Andrew, which ultimately derives from the Greek name Andreas, meaning "manly" or "masculine."EtymologyThe root name Andrew comes from the Greek Ἀνδρέας (Andreas), itself from ἀνδρεῖος (andreios), meaning "manly, masculine," a derivative of ἀνήρ (aner) meaning "man." In the New Testament, Andrew is the first apostle called by Jesus and the brother of Simon Peter. He is traditionally believed to have been martyred on an X-shaped cross, and he is the patron saint of Scotland, Russia, Greece, and Romania.Usage and VariantsAndor 2 is one of several Hungarian forms of Andrew, alongside András and Endre 1. Diminutives include Andris and Bandi. The feminine form is Andrea 2. In other languages, cognates include Andre (English), Andreas (Welsh), Ander (Basque), and Andrei or Andrey (Russian).Notable BearersThe name Andrew has been borne by numerous historical figures, including three kings of Hungary, American president Andrew Jackson (1767–1845), and English composer Andrew Lloyd Webber (born 1948). However, the variant Andor 2 itself does not have widely known individual bearers; its use remains primarily traditional within Hungarian naming conventions.Meaning: Manly, masculineOrigin: Greek, via Hungarian form AndrásType: Variant of AndrásUsage regions: Hungary
