Andrewena is a feminine name derived from the masculine name Andrew, which comes from the Greek name Andreas meaning 'manly' or 'brave.' The feminine suffix '-ena' creates a distinctive variation that maintains the connection to Andrew while establishing it as clearly feminine. This elaboration follows a pattern similar to names like Georgina (from George) or Josephina (from Joseph). Andrewena is quite uncommon, giving it a unique quality that might appeal to parents seeking distinctive names with recognizable roots. The name appears occasionally in English-speaking countries, particularly Scotland and parts of the United States, though it remains rare. Its uncommon nature makes it stand out while still having familiar elements that make it accessible.
