• Andreas

  Destiny number: 8, Name power: 62%

  Ancient Greek, "Andreas" was derived from "aner" - "man" (genitive "andros" - "of a man"), which would translate as "brave, manly, of men". It is also the form used in modern Greek, German and Welsh. In the New Testament the apostle Andreas (Andrew) is the first disciple to join Jesus. He later preached in the Black Sea region (in Dobrogea area - South East of Romania, and then up to Dnieper river). There are legends saying he was crucified on an X-shaped cross, after returning into Greece, in the city of Patras, in Peloponnese. Andreas, being a Greek name, was probably a nickname or a translation of his real Hebrew name, which is not known. On the other hand, it is possible that this name may have been quite common among the Jews of that time, under the Roman conquest.
