Help[Facts] Hi folks!
in reply to a message by Lillian
It could conceivable be from "mandra", i.e., "a ruler in an enclosed space", but common sense suggests that it is probably related to "aner-andras-andreia" (i.e. man, manly, valiant).
Think of it: A king confined in walls is not much to write home about, let alone name somebody after, as opposed to a "manly, testosterone-oozing king". Unless my ancient forefathers had a post-modern / Pythonesque sense of humor, which I seriously doubt :)
