Andrik
Meaning of Andrik
Andrik derives from the Greek root andr– (ἀνήρ, “man”), transmitted through Slavic forms such as Andrei and Andrzej and shaped by the diminutive suffix -ik. In Russian it is pronounced AHN-dreek (/ɐnˈdrʲik/), and in American English AN-drik (/ˈændrɪk/). U.S. birth statistics register Andrik as a rare choice—ranked between 781 and 925 from 2012 to 2024, with a 2024 standing of 910 (14 occurrences)—indicating a stable niche presence. Its two-syllable, stress-initial structure and balanced consonant–vowel pattern create a technically clear phonetic profile that aligns with both Anglo-American and Eastern European naming conventions. As a concise, modern adaptation of a traditional masculine root, Andrik offers precise form and international resonance.
