Andrey (Андрей) is a masculine given name predominantly used in Slavic languages, including Belarusian, Bulgarian, and Russian. The name is derived from the ancient Greek Andreas (Ἀνδρέας), meaning "man" or "warrior".{{Cite web |last=Campbell |first=Mike |title=Meaning, origin and history of the name Andrey |url=https://www.behindthename.com/name/andrey |access-date=2024-11-12 |website=Behind the Name |language=en}}

In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Andrey holds religious significance, particularly due to Saint Andrew, the patron saint of several countries, whose legacy has contributed to the name’s popularity across Orthodox nations.{{Cite web |title=Namepedia: The Name Encyclopedia |url=https://namepedia.name/andrey/ |access-date=2024-11-12 |website=Namepedia.name |language=en}}

In Spanish-speaking countries, Andrey can be interpreted as a portmanteau of the name Andrés and Rey, the Spanish word for king.
