Andrea by the numbers
In 2025, 31 babies in England and Wales were named Andrea. In the US, 2,341 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 11,682 babies in 1981, so it is a 1980s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1980, about 1 in 170 American babies born that year was called Andrea.
