Strong and womanly
Andreana is a feminine elaboration of Andrew, which stems from the Greek name Andreas. It carries the same connotations of strength and bravery as its masculine counterpart, but with a distinctly melodic, Latinate flair. While rare in the United States, it is a sophisticated alternative to the more common Andrea or Adriana.
