Andy, also spelled Andi, Andie or Andee, is predominantly a diminutive version of the male given name Andrew, and variants of it such as Andreas, Andrés, and Andrei. The form of the variation is based on the Scottish "-ie" diminutive ending. Andrew is derived from the Greek name Andreas, meaning "manlike" or "brave". Andy is also occasionally used as a diminutive for the female given name Andrea.
As a masculine name, it can also be a variant of Anthony (especially Andon, Andoni, Andonis, Andonios, Andoniaina & Andony). Andy can also be a feminine given name as an alternate form of Andrea. The Indian names Anand and Anindya are also sometimes shortened to Andy.
In Indonesia, Andi is also a common first name, shortened from the word Adinda, used to address siblings respectfully, or from the Old Javanese word meaning "servant". It is also a title in South Sulawesi nobility (primarily Bugis, though have cognates in other Austronesian languages) for educated noble. Andi as a title in Bugis can be used for both male and female, but can only be inherited patrilineally.
