Strong's Lexicon Andreas: Andrew Original Word: Ἀνδρέας Word Origin: Derived from ἀνήρ (anēr), meaning "man" or "manly." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the name Andrew, as it is of Greek origin. However, the concept of "manliness" or "strength" can be related to Hebrew words like גֶּבֶר (geber, Strong's H1397), meaning "man" or "strong man." Usage: The name "Andrew" means "manly" or "brave." In the New Testament, Andrew is primarily known as one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. He is the brother of Simon Peter and is often depicted as a disciple who is eager to bring others to Jesus. Cultural and Historical Background: Andrew was a native of Bethsaida, a town on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee. He was originally a disciple of John the Baptist before following Jesus (John 1:40). As a fisherman by trade, Andrew worked alongside his brother Peter. In the cultural context of first-century Judea, being a fisherman was a common occupation, and it required strength, patience, and skill.
