Andy is predominantly a diminutive version of the male given name Andrew, and variants of it such as Andreas and Andrei. The form of the variation is based on the Scottish "-ie" diminutive ending. ''Andrew'' is derived from the Greek name ''Andreas'', meaning "man". Andi is also occasionally used as a diminutive for the female given name Andrea in the English, German, Scandinavian and Spanish feminine version of the name Andrew (although Andrea is a masculine name in Italian). Although it's unusual, some people named Alexander go by Andy. It is also occasionally spelled "Andie", "Andi", "Andii", or "Andee" (these more often as a feminine name, but not exclusively). Andy (in and of itself, not as a nickname) is the 217th most popular name in the US, with less than 0.001% of the people with this spelling of the name being female. The Indian names Anand and Anindya are also sometimes shortened to Andy. ==People named Andy== In entertainment: *Amos 'n' Andy (1920s-1950s), a radio-serial situation comedy popular in the United States *Andy Bell, English singer with Erasure *Andy Biersack, lead vocalist of American rock band Black Veil Brides *Andy Buckley, American actor *Andi Deris German Power Metal Vocalist (Helloweeen) *Andy Devine, American actor *Andy Dick, American actor and comedian *Andi Dorfman, former Bachelorette *Andy García, Cuban-American actor *Andy Gibb, English singer *Andy Griffith (1926–2012), American actor *Andy Hurley, drummer of American band Fall Out Boy *Andy Kaufman, American comedian *Andy Lau, Chinese singer and actor *Andy Lee (comedian), Australian comedian and radio presenter *Andy Lee (Korean singer), South Korean singer and actor, member of Shinhwa *Andie MacDowell (born 1958), American actress *Andy Madadian, Persian/Armenian singer, known by his mononym Andy *Andy McCoy, Finnish musician *Andy Mckee, Fingerstyle acoustic guitar player *Andy McNab (born 1959), British soldier-turned-novelist *Andy Milonakis, American comedian *Andi Osho (born 1973), British actress and television presenter *Andy Richter, American comic *Andy Rooney, American television personality *Andy Samberg, American comedian and actor *Andy Serkis, English actor *Andy Summers, English musician with the Police *Andy Taylor, English musician with Duran Duran *Andy Warhol (1928–1987), American artist *Andy Whitfield (1974–2011), Welsh-Australian actor *Andy Williams (1927-2012), American singer *Horace "Andy" Hinds (born 1951), Jamaican roots reggae singer In sports: *Andy Bathgate (born 1932), Canadian ice hockey centerman *Andy Bloom (born 1973), American Olympic shot putter *Andy Caddick, English cricketer *Andy Cole, English football (soccer) player *Andy Hug (1964–2000), Swiss karateka and kickboxer *Andy Heck, American football player and coach *Andy Johnson (English footballer), English football (soccer) player *Andy Johnson (Welsh footballer), Welsh football (soccer) player *Andy Koçoğlu, Turkish-American ice hockey player *Andy Macdonald, American professional skateboarder *Andy McDonald, Canadian ice hockey player *Andy Messersmith, baseball player *Andy Murray, Scottish tennis player *Andy Najar, Honduran football (soccer) player *Andy Nicholls, English football hooligan and author *Andy Pettitte, American baseball player *Andy Phillip, American basketball player *Andy Phillips, American baseball player *Andy Priaulx, racing driver *Andy Ristie (born 1982), Surinamese kickboxer *Andy Robustelli, American football player *Andy Roddick (born 1982), American professional tennis player *Andy Sabados (1916–2004), American football player *Andy Schleck, Professional cyclist *Andy Schliebener, hockey player *Andy Selva, football (soccer) player *Andy Sheets, American baseball player *Andy Sonnanstine, American baseball player 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andy (given name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
