See, I was under the impression that that -a means female was a general rule in all romance languages. I would expect the male version to be Andreo or just plain Andre.
If I didn’t remember a particular thread of yours, I’d be asking you if you were female as I’ve always supposed.
I always get him confused with Andrea Dworkin. Did the Ottoman navy make a lot of porn, so I can call it even?
As noted it is of Greek origin.
My first name is Nikola ( I’m male ) and though in my case it is of Serbo-Croatian origin, it is also common in Italy as a male name. Again, Greek derivation.
Really? I’ve never heard Bocelli called “Andre”. It’s “Ahn - dray - a” for both, as far as I know. (I wasn’t familiar with Andrea Doria before this thread.)
