      Andros is a Channel Islands (UK) corruption of the name Andrews. Other variations include Andross, Andrus, Andras, Andreas, Anders, Andres, Androwes, Androuse, Andores, etc. all steming from the Greek Aindreas, meaning "courageous." Name appears in the Scottish Highlands as Gaelic Aindrea & Anndra. Other early Scottish forms were Andree, Andro, Anfroe, & Androw. Andrews is common in England. Robert Andrew, on record in the Hundred Rolls of Cambridgeshire, 1273 AD, is in the form which the Normans first brought the name to England, from St. Andre, near Evreux, France. Other early Norman forms were Andreas (1180), Fitz-Andreas (1195), & Fitz-Andre'e (1199). Original home of the Andrews family in England was in the SW, most notably in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Hants & Wiltz. It spread also to Cambridgeshire, Sheshire, Derbyshire, Essex & Gloucestershire. There are 37 armorial bearings for various branches in England, Scotland & Wales. Andrew families claim 9, 8 listed for Andrewes, 18 for Andrews, and two for Andros. In the census of 1790, there were 593 heads of Andrew, Andrews, Andre, Andrees, Andruw & Andrws families, mostly in MA, CT then PA, NY, & NC. John Andrews (often spelled Andrus) was a first settler of Farmington, CT & died in 1681. He & his wife Mary were from Essex, England. In 1672 he was one of the 84 proprietors of the town of Tunxis (now Farmington), where they baptized nine children. Mary Andrews died in 1694.
