Meaning and background
The story behind Andre
Andre, without the accent, is an established English given-name spelling influenced by French André. Both are in the wider Andreas and Andrew family, but the unaccented spelling does not automatically take the standard French pronunciation. In English it is commonly said AHN-dray. The distinction matters for a catalogue with separate spelling records: a shared historical root need not mean identical usage in every language.
