Andres

Andres is the Spanish form of Andrew, from the Greek Andreas, "manly" or "brave," the name of the first apostle called by Jesus, a fisherman before he was a saint. Without the accent mark it looks sturdy on an American form; with it, Andrés, the rolling second syllable takes center stage. The name belongs to Segovia, the guitarist who made the classical guitar a concert instrument, and Iniesta, the midfielder with the light feet. Currently at rank 197 in the U.S., it stays steady as a bilingual-friendly classic. Two syllables, graceful and grounded. Andres is unshowy, capable, and warmly at home in two languages.
