Andraia is a feminine name with Greek origins, derived from the masculine name Andreas, meaning 'strong,' 'brave,' or 'warrior.' This feminine adaptation creates a melodic alternative to the more common Andrea. The name has a mythical, water-like quality, perhaps influenced by its similarity to words related to the sea in various languages. Andraia remains relatively rare, appealing to parents seeking a name with classical roots but a distinctive sound. It gained some recognition through a character in the science fiction series 'ReBoot' in the 1990s. The name offers an elegant balance of strength and femininity, combining traditional origins with a contemporary feel that distinguishes it from more common classical names. Its uncommon status makes it appealing for parents seeking something distinctive yet pronounceable.
