message: I'm not happy with the Battle Flag of the Confederacy being on this page.  This page actually states that the designer of the battle flag himself stated the reason why it is a saltire- to avoid religious connections of other crosses, therefore nothing to do with St Andrew or any other saltires. This is NOT a page about saltires and I know of no evidence that the saltire cross started with St Andrew.

thread_title:  Inappropriate Saltire 

message: The name comes from the biblical region Bethsaida.  Back then the sound W wasn't how it is today and so if you were in any of these places this is what the name "Andrew" would be wrote like "Andre" but you have to give it to the time and place they lived when the name originated  plus the sound "w" came from "ou" but short for "w" in English. Here is how other reigions write "Andre"
Aindrea, Aindreas or Anndra : Scottish Gaelic for males
Aindréas, Aindriú, Aindreas : Irish Gaelic for males
Anaru: New Zealand, for males - Maori transliteration of Andrew
Andra : Scots for males
Ander: Basque for males
Anders: Danish, Norwegian, Swedish for males
András, Endre: Hungarian for males
Andraš Prekmurian for males
Andraž: Slovene for males
Andre or André: French for males
Andrea: Albanian, Italian for males; Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, English, Finnish, Galician, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish for females
Andreas: Austrian, Cypriot Greek, Danish, German, Greek, Norwegian, Icelandic, Swedish, Welsh for males
Andreea: Romanian for females
Andrée: French for females
Andrees: Older Dutch and seldom used Afrikaans for males
Andrei: Moldovan, Romanian, Russian or Macedonian for males
Andreia: Portuguese for females
Andreina: Italian for females
Andris: Latvian for males
Andrej or Ondrej: Slovak (Slovakia), Croatian and Serbian, Slovene for males
Andrey: Russian and Bulgarian for males (Cyrillic and thus often alternatively transliterated as Andrey for both); Romanian for males
Andreja: Croatian, Slovene for females
Andres: Estonian for males
Andrés: Icelandic, Spanish for males
Andreu: Catalan for males
Andreus: Greek
Andrew: English for males
Andric: English for males
Andries: Dutch and Afrikaans for males
Andri: Icelandic for Males
Andrii: Ukrainian for males
Andrija: Croatian, Serbian for males
Andris or Andrejs: Latvian for males
Aindriú : Gaeilge for males
Andrius: Lithuanian for males
Andriy: Ukrainian for males
Andrzej or Jędrzej: Polish for males
Andrzeja: Polish for females; obsolete
Ondřej: Czech for males
Indri: Maltese for males
In Albanian: Andrea, Andreu, André, Ndré, Ndreu, Andër, Andërs, only for males
Antti : Finnish for males
so my conclusion is that we didn't have the right English speech back in the beginning of time for the name  "Andrew" (English) was instead ("Andre"} Saint Andrew as we know it isn't but "Saint Andre" the "E" at the end messes with people and they believe their should be a finishing but their isn't needed one. here is why- Letter 'E' differs little from its derivational source, the Greek letter epsilon, 'Ε'. In etymology, the Semitic hê  has been suggested to have started as a praying or calling human figure (hillul 'jubilation'), and was probably based on a similar Egyptian hieroglyph that indicated a different pronunciation. In Semitic, the letter represented /h/ (and /e/ in foreign words), in Greek hê became epsilon with the value /e/. Etruscans and Romans followed this usage. Although Middle English spelling used 'e' to represent long and short /e/, the Great Vowel Shift changed long /eː/ (as in 'me' or 'bee') to /iː/ while short /e/ (as in 'met' or 'bed') remains a mid vowel.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.53.12.151 (talk) 09:05, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

"The name "Andrew" (Greek: manly, brave, from ἀνδρεία, Andreia, "manhood, valour"), like other Greek names, appears to have been common among the Jews, Christians, and other Hellenized people of the region."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.25.109.197 (talk) 15:16, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

message: The article says that Andrew is the older brother of Peter. What is the evidence for this? The gospels do not indicate which is older. A quick google search suggested that Christians are not certain either. Is there some sort of church tradition being used to claim that Andrew is the older brother?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidMcP555 (talk • contribs) 02:53, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

message: I am very confused. In the first paragraph of the “Life” section, it reads, “No Hebrew or Aramaic name is recorded for him.” However, at the beginning of the article, it lists an Aramaic version of his name, “אַנדּרֵאוָס”. Is there or is there not an Aramaic name for him? Thank you. Plooyulmo (talk) 18:24, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
