Andis and its variants Andio, Andes, etc., was a personal name popular among the Illyrians of Dardania, Pannonia, and Dalmatia. The god Andinus – considered to have been the Dardanian indigenous deity of vegetation and soil fertility – is also attested in votive inscriptions from the Roman province of Moesia Superior. The personal names are considered to be derived from the name of the Dardanian god.

Due to a widespread distribution of personal names like Andio, Andis, etc., and female versions Andia, Andena, etc., as well as the theonym Andinus, which are found throughout the territory inhabited by Illyrians, a presumable root word would be **and-*. The name may also be connected to the root of the tribal name Andizetes, a small Illyrian community of Pannonia.
