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.
