Ondreya Origin and Meaning

The name Ondreya is a girl's name.

Ondreya is a feminine variation of the masculine name Andrew, ultimately derived from the Greek name Andreas, meaning 'manly' or 'brave.' This creative feminization incorporates the 'Ondr-' beginning sound found in Slavic variations of Andrew (like Ondrej), combined with a feminine ending. Ondreya emerged as part of the trend of creating feminine forms of traditionally male names, likely gaining limited usage in the late 20th century. While relatively uncommon, it appeals to parents seeking a unique name with recognizable roots. The name carries the strength and dignity of its origin while offering a distinctive, modern feminine identity with a subtle Eastern European influence.
