• Andres — A rare Romanian surname or masculine given name, representing a regional phonetic variant or a historically adapted borrowing from the Hungarian András or Old Germanic, both structurally derived from the Greek 'Andreas' (manly, courageous). This name is used as a stable marker of family identity, primarily found in the cultural interference zones of Transylvania and Banat.
