The history of the last name Andree

The surname Andree originated in France during the 12th century, derived from the given name André, which itself comes from the Greek name Andreas, meaning "manly" or "brave." It was initially borne by those with a connection to Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland and Russia.

The earliest recorded instances of the name Andree can be found in medieval French records and charters. One notable example is Baudin Andree, a 13th-century landowner from the region of Normandy, whose name appears in the Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Pierre de Préaux.

Throughout the Middle Ages, the Andree family spread across various regions of France, with some branches adopting variations in spelling, such as Andrey, Andrier, or Andriès. The name was also associated with certain place names, such as Andrézieux in the Loire region.

In the 16th century, a prominent figure bearing the name Andree was Jean Andree, a French scholar and cartographer born in 1590. He is known for his work on the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," a collection of maps and geographical descriptions.

During the 17th century, the Andree surname gained prominence in the Netherlands, where it was often spelled as Andrée or Andriesse. One notable bearer was Jan Andriesse, a Dutch painter born in 1629, known for his still-life and landscape works.

Another significant figure was Salomon Andree, a Swedish engineer and explorer born in 1854. He led an ill-fated attempt to reach the North Pole by hydrogen balloon in 1897, which ended in tragedy when his expedition went missing and was presumed dead.

In the 19th century, the Andree name was also found in Germany, where it was sometimes rendered as Andree or Andreae. One notable German bearer was Wilhelm Andree, a geographer and publisher born in 1875, best known for his work on the "Andree's Handatlas," a popular reference atlas.
