Hi, <BR> <BR>Does anybody know where the italien surname \"Andi\" comes from, or what it means? <BR> <BR>Thanks, <BR> <BR>Achim.

There is no Italian surname ANFDI. The closest is ANDRI which is a variation of ANDREI and both Andrei and Andri appear in the Italian surname dictionary. Sorry Peter

Peter, <BR> <BR>I didn\'t ask for Andri but for Andi. <BR>Anyhow, by \"dictionary\" do you mean the database of this site? <BR>I can\'t find Andri there. There is a link to a mail adress for someone who put Andi in there, but it doesn\'t work. <BR> <BR>Greetings, <BR> <BR>Achim.

ANDI is not a surname listed in the Italian surname dictionary. There are 27 Andi persons having the Andi surname in Italy and their name is obviously italian but not listed. Andri is the possible original name which is a variation of the basic name Andrei. There is no record for ANDI so the origin of the name is lost in the mists of time. The dictionary is a book and not from the database in this website. Peter

16 of the 27 persons surnamed Andi are in the provinces of Milano and Pavia scattered in villages in each province. Apparently Lombardia regiuon is where the suirname originated. Peter

16 of the 27 persons in Italy surnbamed Andi reside in the Lombardia provinces of Milano and Pavia. Go to the www.paginebianche.it and insert the name andi in the first line and PV and MI in the third line and click cerca. This will give you all the persons surnamed Andi in those provinces. Peter

Peter, <BR> <BR>thanks a lot for your effort! <BR> <BR>Achim.

If none of the 16 sunramed Andi persons in the provinces of Milano and Pavia are not what you are looking for then you can search out the remaining 11 Andi surnamed persons in northern Italy in Rome, Grosetto, Reggio Emilia, Piacenza, and Genova. Peter
