Andri

Andri is a masculine given name used in several cultures. It is commonly treated as a form of Andreas, the Greek name from which many European given names derive. The name is traditionally associated with meanings such as “manly” or “brave.” In Iceland, Andri is an established given name in its own right and is used independently of longer forms.

In Icelandic and some Nordic contexts, Andri appears as a regular given name and can be found among writers, artists, and public figures. The Icelandic writer Andri Snær Magnason (born 1973) is a notable bearer of the name. Beyond Iceland, Andri can be encountered in diaspora communities where Nordic or Greek-derived naming traditions influence local practice; it may also appear as a regional variant of related names in other languages.

Variants and related names include Andrius (Lithuanian), Andre, Andreas, Andreu, Andrei, Andrey, and Andy. The form Andri often reflects local orthography and phonology, adapting the broader family of names derived from Andreas to fit linguistic norms.

Overall, Andri functions primarily as a male given name with roots linked to the broader Andreas family. Its usage is most clearly attested in Iceland, with regional and linguistic variations observed in other Nordic, Baltic, and diaspora contexts.
