Archivesmeaning of a name
Previously I asked if anyone knew the meaning of D'Andrega (female name). I understand the possible meanings of the "D". How about the name Andrega?

You posted your query back in June, I remember, and at the time you'd also said that you weren't sure of the spelling. Didn't you ever come back to see what others had posted in response?
Here's what I was able to find for you back then. I'll repost it here:
******************************************************************
Could the name you remember possibly have been spelled "D'Andraka" or "D'Andraca"?
You mentioned that this was the name of a Spanish woman, and D'Andraka (or D'Andraca) in the Basque language means: "from the hill of the lady".
Both Andraka and Andraca are Basque surnames, but they can be used as first names, too. Here is an online reference I managed to find for you:

Someone else suggested that the name D'Andrega could be spanish.
The woman I knew was Italian. I did read the responses to my request for information but there was not anything useful. So again I tried to ask, hoping someone else could contribute. I fully comprehend the D' part of the name. I do not however know anything about the name Andrega. Thus my request for help.
