Ondrea
Meaning of Ondrea
Ondrea (pronounced AHN-dree-uh) is a distinctive English-language variant of Andrea, which itself derives from the Greek Andreas meaning “manly” or “strong.” By substituting an initial O, Ondrea imparts a subtle flair of individuality to a name with deep classical roots. In the United States, it enjoyed modest popularity through the mid-20th century—peaking in the 1940s and ’50s—before giving way to more conventional spellings, and today it registers only a handful of births each year. This scarcity can be an asset for parents seeking a name that balances historical gravitas with an under-the-radar uniqueness. Despite occasional mispronunciations, Ondrea’s associations with courage and resilience remain clear, offering both a respectful nod to tradition and a quietly modern appeal.
