About the Name Andre

Balanced and confident, Andre is a two-syllable masculine name that has found admirers across a wide range of cultures, meaning "Manly", and a recognised and trusted boy name internationally - known across communities but never so common that it loses its individual character. Its meaning "Manly" resonates across different cultural contexts, which is part of why the name carries genuine cross-cultural appeal.

The practical question of how Andre flows with the family surname is worth considering.

Names that begin with a vowel like 'A' have an open, approachable quality that makes them easy to call across a playground or a boardroom - equally at home in both.
