The earliest recorded instance of the ONDREY surname can be found in a medieval manuscript from 1274, where a person named "Ondrej z Ceska" (Ondrej from Bohemia) is mentioned. This indicates that the surname was already in use by that time.

In the 15th century, the ONDREY surname appeared in several historical records, including the Codex Diplomaticus et Epistolaris Regni Bohemiae, a collection of documents related to the history of Bohemia. One notable person with this surname was Jan ONDREY, a Czech scholar and clergyman who lived from 1425 to 1493.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the ONDREY surname spread to other parts of Europe, particularly to neighboring countries like Germany and Poland. In 1587, a German document mentions a person named "Hans ONDREY," indicating the presence of the surname in German-speaking regions.

One of the most notable individuals with the ONDREY surname was Václav ONDREY (1665-1722), a Czech architect and builder who was involved in the construction of several churches and buildings in Prague and other parts of Bohemia.

In the 18th century, the ONDREY surname continued to be prominent in Bohemia and Moravia, which were both part of the Habsburg Monarchy at the time. A famous bearer of this surname was Josef ONDREY (1732-1808), a Czech composer and organist who worked in various churches and monasteries.

The 19th century saw the ONDREY surname spread further across Europe, with several notable individuals bearing this name. One example is Jan Evangelista ONDREY (1808-1864), a Czech writer and journalist who played a significant role in the Czech National Revival movement.
