Andre
Boy name · 30 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Andre: 30 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 5 births in 2017.
Andre is a French, Portuguese, and Scandinavian form of Andrew, ultimately from the Greek *Andreas*, meaning “manly” or “warrior.” The name carries a strong, international appeal, borne by tennis legend Andre Agassi, musician André 3000 of OutKast, and the towering wrestler-actor André the Giant. While the Scottish patron saint is Saint Andrew, the variant Andre has been given steadily to babies in Scotland since the 1970s, often chosen by families with a continental or African heritage. Notable bearers also include the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer’s grandson, adding a creative dimension. Its short, sharp sound contrasts with the more traditional Andrew, giving it a modern, cosmopolitan feel that still nods to ancient roots.
