The basis of the surname Andreev was the church name Andrei. The surname Andreev goes back to the canonical male name Andrei, which translated from ancient Greek means “courageous”. This is the name of one of the apostles of Jesus Christ - Andrew the First-Called. According to legend, the apostle preached to the “Scythians,” that is, to the Balkan peoples and tribes living on the shores of the Black Sea. He was crucified on a cross shaped like the letter “X” (for which it received the name “St. Andrew’s Cross”) in the Greek city of Patras at the behest of proconsul Aegeus (Aegeates). Under Emperor Constantine the Great, the relics of the Holy Apostle Andrew were solemnly transferred to Constantinople and placed in the Church of the Holy Apostles next to the relics of the Holy Evangelist Luke and the disciple of the Apostle Paul, Presbyter Timothy. Apostle Andrew is revered as the founder and heavenly patron of the Holy Church of Constantinople. Andrew the First-Called was considered the patron saint of Russia and was especially revered by the Orthodox Church.
In Rus' they believed that if you give a child the name of a saint or great martyr, then his life will be bright, good or difficult, because there is an invisible connection between the name and the fate of a person. Andrey eventually received the surname Andreev.

ANDREEV: the number of interaction with the world is “9”
The vibrations of the number nine make people strive for excellence and work on themselves throughout their lives. “Niners” are very strong and multifaceted people, sometimes not very pleasant to communicate with: they are just as demanding of others as they are of themselves, can be harsh in their language and do not always know the limit in criticism. Words are the best weapon of Nine people, but they are not always used in the best way; often anger or resentment force the “nine-year student” to say something completely different from what he thinks, and this becomes the cause of serious problems, sometimes dragging on for a long time. The shortcomings of people of the Nine are numerous and varied, but they are certainly surmountable - if only there was a desire. A “nine” can change his character, habits and manners, but will be severely punished if he does this not for himself, but only to please another.
For Nine people, it is very important not to withdraw into themselves: they need to see the world, be interested in the affairs of others, and comprehend science for self-development and spiritual comfort. No matter how difficult “niners” may sometimes seem to communicate - they are carried away, fickle, sometimes forgetting about compromises and a sense of tact - a positive principle predominates in their character, and it quickly becomes obvious to everyone. However, a person of nine does not need company too much and, left alone, does not lament his fate. He always has a lot to do, interests and reasons for thinking, and around him there are people who need help, support and love.
The “nine” is able to completely dissolve in love and enjoys it, even if it does not receive reciprocity. He needs little and gives much; neither one’s own strengths nor material factors have much value in his eyes, therefore they do not particularly strive for comfort or wealth. For Nine people, it is much more important to ensure that their lives are rich and interesting. That is why they usually prefer the city to the countryside and do not get joy from passive, inactive recreation.
It is also necessary to remember that the character of a “nine” is influenced by the vibrations of all numbers, so to many the behavior of such a person may seem unpredictable. Logic and rational judgment are not the best helpers in the matter called “understanding a person of nine.” Here, intuition will most likely be useful, and trust will not be superfluous - it must be admitted that in most cases the “nine” does the right thing and, if he is not interfered with, solves problems in the best possible way.
ANDREEV: the number of spiritual aspirations is “4”
Those born under the influence of four are in harmony with themselves and the world around them. They know how to set goals and achieve them, strictly follow the rules and maintain a positive attitude in any situation. They can safely be called perfectionists: they strive to make a dizzying career, build an ideal family nest, build a huge house and raise children in a way that they can be proud of. These people are used to bringing any task to the end, and if circumstances turn out differently, they cannot come to terms with it for a long time.
Fours are persistent not only in work, but also in their personal lives. They can win the love of the person they like for years, and remember unrequited feelings for a long time. These people like to adhere to traditions in romantic relationships and expect the same from their chosen ones. They usually start a family early, but this does not prevent them from listening to their parents’ advice throughout their lives.
In raising children, people of four use the carrot and stick method. These are wonderful parents, but if the desires of their child go beyond the norms established by society, then you can hardly count on understanding from them. Quadruples have a heightened sense of justice; they see the speck not only in someone else’s eye, but also in their own, so they rarely conflict for a long time with loved ones.
These people strive to organize everything. They enjoy jobs that require attention to detail but allow them to think carefully about decisions. If a quad student is a representative of a creative profession, then he still adheres to discipline and a set schedule - even the muse visits him at strictly specified hours. This person feels uncomfortable in leadership positions, but copes well with the role of a performer.
He spends a lot of effort at work, but he does this not for the sake of encouragement, but simply because he cannot do otherwise. At the same time, he is definitely not ready to work for free, so he is looking for an employer who could appreciate his zeal and talents.
If a person of four decides to open his own business, he mainly chooses areas related to technology or information technology. He is unlikely to be interested in enterprises that promise huge profits, but involve increased risk.
This person is honest with others and expects reciprocity from them. He rarely participates in discussions and does not like to have high-society conversations. A quadruple student helps with deeds, but is unable to find kind words for moral support.
ANDREEV: the number of true singularities is “5”
If a person is influenced by A, then they remain adult children for a long time. Even at an advanced age, such people behave like rebellious teenagers. Such a person is ready to risk everything for a mere trifle. Thinking through and planning the consequences of their decisions is not for them. Sometimes the protest of such persons is directed against generally accepted rules and looks rather ridiculous.
In general, we can say that this is a kind of entertainment. Inventing enemies for yourself and fighting them is the main fun for an “excellent” person. A stable, calm life causes him melancholy, dissatisfaction and a desire for change.
It is interesting that even if there is temporarily no struggle in the life of such a person, he himself is drawn to dramas and tragedies. It is not only interesting to him, but also feeds his vitality. Suffering and dark stories make him curious. And this can lead to stupid actions and fatal mistakes. But an “excellent” person is simply unable to overcome this attraction. He wants to know this world thoroughly and from all sides.
Often the culprit is too vivid imagination and self-confidence. With such a set of traits, they rarely become good spouses or reliable business partners. After all, they don’t care about the future at all. They will never raise funds for significant purchases - they would rather take out a loan. They are also not able to plan their lives - the trip can be disrupted at any moment.
At the same time, they believe that fate favors them and if suddenly a serious trouble occurs, they will be able to mobilize all their talents and everything will be resolved in the best way. Even if they have already made mistakes, this does not teach them anything. They rarely draw conclusions from the situation. This is the skill they lack most.
What cannot be taken away from people under the sign of A is their erudition and outlook. They can talk about everything in the world, and it’s exciting and emotional. They will always be listened to with pleasure. If such a person has a hobby, he will try to benefit from it. In general, we can say that these people are always at the forefront.
Where the more cautious would never go, the “excellent” students will follow with joy. And for such adventures you always need to be in good physical shape, so they love sports, watch their diet and often remain slim and fit into old age.
Illness and monotonous life drive such people into depression, from which it is not easy for them to get out.

Story
There are two versions regarding the time of origin of the surname Andreev.
1. Russian patronymics began to be used very early; the first mention of this dates back to 945. However, until the 13th century, the frequency of use of patronymics was low. Form of male patronymic in modern Russian with a suffix and ending in " -ovich"goes back to the patronymics of the ancient Russian princes and nobility of Moscow Rus', which meant " one of or on behalf of (such and such)"; “vile people” had no right to use such patronymics. The patronymics of “mean” people, that is, ignorant people, in Russia were originally formed as a short form of a possessive adjective from the corresponding name, for example: “Ivan son of Andrei” or “Ivan Andreev son”, and in a later version, “Ivan Andreev”. But it is unlikely that a commoner could bear the name Andrei before the baptism of Rus', so the version of the formation of the surname on behalf of the prince, a noble person, seems more likely, i.e. “Ivan, servant of Prince Andrei” or “Ivan, Andreev’s servant.” Options with the full name and patronymic - Ivan Petrov son of Andreev or Andreev Ivan Petrov son - should be read as Ivan Petrovich Andreev.
2. After 988, every Slav, during an official baptism ceremony, received a baptismal name from the priest, which served only one purpose - to provide the person with a personal name. Baptismal names corresponded to the names of saints and were therefore common Christian names. Already in the 15th-16th centuries, among rich people, surnames began to be fixed and passed on from generation to generation, indicating a person’s belonging to a specific family. These were possessive adjectives with suffixes -ov/-ev, -in, initially indicating the name of the head of the family - “ from so and so" Thus, a descendant of a person with the name Andrei eventually received the surname Andreev.
First mention of the surname
About the very first thing that history has preserved, the mention of a surname Andreev evidenced by one of the published decodings of the runes on the belt ring, found during excavations of the Verkhogryazye mound on the land of the Vyatichi.
Quote from the website "Trinitarian Academy"
Another belt ring was found in excavations of the Verkhogryazye mound on the land of the Vyatichi and dates back to the period of the 11th-13th centuries; it is very richly ornamented, which creates the impression of wealth of its owner ( Drawing of deciphering the inscription on the ring ).
The text reads: “ANDREEV LAVIER. IT'S A FUCKING STROLLER, BUT IT'S A BAD MOON. LAVRY KNYUKH PANVI, BUT IN Rus' SLAVYANSKAYA - SMART!”
This means: “ANDREEV LAUR. THIS IS A MASTER'S STROLLER, BUT WITH A LUNAR PENDANT. (THOUGH) LAUREL IS THE GORDER OF PANOV, BUT IN SLAVIC Rus' - AGILITY! "
The existence of a master among the Vyatichi is noteworthy, which surprises even the groom. On the other hand, the master's groom Lavr Andreev was obviously not only a wealthy enough man to order such a magnificent belt ring, but also undoubtedly literate.
Note (author).
It should be borne in mind that the ancient Slavs Pan identified with Veles - Banned(Ban means lord, ruler. Veles books. "The Book of Kolyada").
On the other hand, the Vyatichi, according to some historians, come from Lyakhov, the ancestors of modern Poles, and pan, translated from Polish, means sir.
Vantit - the state of the Vyatichi
“In the 9th - 11th centuries, in the Oka River basin, there was a Vyatichi state, Vantit, independent from Kyiv. It was a large territorial-tribal association with a developed hierarchy of power relations, including a number of territorial substructures (tribes), over which the “bright princes” ruled (Swiet-malik, according to Arabic sources, the Western European analogue isdukes). And the Supreme Ruler of the Vyatichi placed himself above his vassals, calling himself “ prince of princes» (rayis ar-ruasa- in Arabic texts(Ibn-Rust), which corresponded to the titlegrand ducal or royal- in Western European titular practice)". (Alexander Golovkov. "The First Rurikovichs"). The last mention of the Vyatichi in Slavic chronicles is dated 6705 (1197) (See Artsikhovsky A.V. Vyatichi burial mounds. M., 1930).
Family lines of France
Louis-Joseph-Nicolas André (André) (1838-?), general, politician, minister.
The owner of the surname Andreev can rightfully be proud of his ancestors, information about which is contained in various documents confirming the mark they left in the history of Russia.
The surname Andreev is formed from a proper name and belongs to the most interesting type of Russian surnames.
The surname Andreev is one of the most common Russian surnames. In the list of all-Russian surnames, it is among the top hundred most frequently encountered, occupying 30th place. The prevalence of the surname is probably explained by the fact that it comes from the name Andrei, known throughout the Christian world, which translated from Greek means “courageous, brave.”
Moreover, the patron saint of the name was considered the Apostle Andrew, better known as Andrew the First-Called. Andrew was one of the apostles of Jesus Christ, who was the first to follow the Teacher, and then brought to him his brother, the holy Apostle Peter.
Through his works and prayers, Christian Churches arose, people converted to the Christian faith. Sentenced to martyrdom on the cross, he did not flinch. On the contrary, with joy and prayer to the Lord he himself went to the place of execution. For two days the apostle taught from the cross to the townspeople gathered around. The people who listened to him felt compassion for him with all their souls and demanded that the saint be removed from the crucifixion. Frightened by popular outrage, the ruler of the city of Patras ordered the execution to be stopped. But the holy apostle began to pray that the Lord would honor him with death on the cross. No matter how the soldiers tried to remove the Apostle Andrew, their hands did not obey them. The crucified apostle, having given praise to God, said: “Lord Jesus Christ, receive my spirit.” Then the bright radiance of Divine light illuminated the cross and the martyr crucified on it.
One of the most famous representatives of this family was the writer of the Silver Age, the founder of Russian impressionism, Leonid Andreev. According to contemporaries, he did not so much live his life as “lose” it, being prone to acting and impersonation. Andreev loved to play pranks on his acquaintances over the phone, faking other people's voices. He was alternately interested in painting, the gramophone, and color photography, passionately devoting himself to each new activity. His works, especially his early ones, were distinguished by realism, sharp contrasts and unexpected plot twists. The best works of the writer include: the stories “Angel” (1899), “Bargamot and Garaska” (1898), “Once Upon a Time” (1901), “Ivan Ivanovich” (1908), “Red Laughter” (1904); the plays “The Life of a Man” (1907), “To the Stars” (1906) and the story “The Life of Vasily of Fiveysky” (1903).
It is currently difficult to talk about the exact place and time of the origin of the Andreev surname, since the process of formation of surnames was quite long. Nevertheless, the surname Andreev is a wonderful monument of Slavic writing and culture.
