Etymology
Probably borrowed from Medieval Latin: papas, from Ancient Greek: πάπας, romanized: pápas, lit. 'bishop, patriarch', variant of πάππας, páppas, 'father'. Andreou (Greek: Ανδρέου pronounced [an̪ˈðre̞u], also spelt Αντρέου) is a common surname in Greece and Cyprus. It originally meant 'son of Andrew' or 'son of Andreas'. Andreou is of pre-Christian Greek origin although in Western Europe it gained popularity during the Crusades (mostly in the form of Andreas/Andrew) and was also one of the earliest settler names in America.
In popular culture
Many streets and squares in Greece are named Andreas or George Papandreou after the members of the Greek political dynasty.
