ANDRA
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English

Feminine form of ANDREW
ANDREW
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: AN-droo
From the Greek name ÎνδÏÎµÎ±Ï (Andreas), which derives from Î±Î½Î·Ï (aner) "man" (genitive ανδÏÎ¿Ï (andros) "of a man"). In the New Testament the apostle Andrew was the brother of the apostle Simon Peter. According to legend he was crucified on an X-shaped cross, and he is the patron saint of Scotland, Russia, and Greece. This was also the name of kings of Hungary.
DIAH is a little more difficult since it is listed primarily as a name suffix, -diah, as in Obadiah or Jedidiah. However, the name could derive from the Muslim name, Sa'diah or Sadiyya, which means luck or good fortune.
