Census
Andrie in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 196 people with the first name Andrie, which placed it at #38,869 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Andrie
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Andrie is White at 28.1%. The next largest groups are Black (27.0%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (20.4%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Andrie described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Andrie at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Andrie
The name Andrie originates from the Greek language and culture, with its roots dating back to ancient times. It is believed to be a variant of the Greek name Andreas, which is derived from the ancient Greek word "andros," meaning "man" or "warrior."
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Andrie can be found in the writings of ancient Greek philosophers and historians. It is mentioned in several ancient texts, including the works of Plato and Aristotle, where it was used to refer to prominent figures of the time.
During the Byzantine era, the name Andrie gained popularity within the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition. It was often given to individuals who were seen as embodying the virtues of courage, strength, and fortitude, which were associated with the name's meaning.
In the Middle Ages, the name Andrie spread throughout Europe, particularly in regions with strong Greek cultural influences. Several notable figures bore this name during this period, including Andrie of Crete (c. 820 CE), a renowned Byzantine scholar and theologian.
One of the most famous individuals with the name Andrie was Andrie Gritti (1455-1538), a Venetian merchant and diplomat who played a significant role in the political affairs of the Republic of Venice during the Renaissance period. He was known for his diplomatic skills and his efforts to foster trade relations between Venice and the Ottoman Empire.
Another prominent figure bearing the name Andrie was Andrie Chenier (1762-1794), a French poet and journalist who became a victim of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. His works, which celebrated liberty and criticized the excesses of the revolution, are considered among the finest examples of French neoclassical poetry.
In the 19th century, Andrie Ampère (1775-1836), a French physicist and mathematician, made significant contributions to the study of electromagnetism. He is best known for his groundbreaking work on electric currents and the formulation of Ampère's law, which laid the foundation for the modern understanding of electromagnetism.
Other notable individuals with the name Andrie include Andrie Gide (1869-1951), a French author and Nobel laureate in literature, and Andrie Breton (1896-1966), a French writer and poet who played a pivotal role in the Surrealist movement.

FAQ
Andrie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Andrie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 34 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Andrie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 10,081,010 US residents.
Is Andrie a common name?
We classify Andrie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 48.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 39 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Andrie most popular?
The single biggest year for Andrie was 1963, when 7 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Andrie is about 55 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Andrie in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 196 people with the name Andrie, or 0.06 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #38,869 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Andrie in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Andrie?
The 2020 Census sex table shows Andrie on both sides of the split. Of the 184 people counted with this name, 110 were male (59.8%) and 74 were female (40.2%). The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Andrie?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Andrie is White at 28.1%. The next largest groups are Black (27.0%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (20.4%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Andrie most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Andrie in the 2020 Census, accounting for 28.1% (55 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Andrie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Andrie a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Andrie in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Andrie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Andrie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Andrie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
