In Italy Andrea is a unisex name nowadays.
Despite being less used as feminine name it reaches the feminine Top200 nearly every year since 1990s and this for the Italian standards means that it is no longer a rare choice.

Although I don't like feminine names being used on boys, this one is not that bad. I prefer Andreas more.

Andrea del Sarto was an Italian painter from Florence, whose career flourished during the High Renaissance and early Mannerism. Though highly regarded during his lifetime as an artist senza errori ("without errors"), his renown was eclipsed after his death by that of his contemporaries, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.
On 21 November 1848, the play Andre del Sarto, by Alfred de Musset, premiered in Paris.

A feminine version of a name that means “manly”. Huh. A little ironic. I do like this name, it sounds really nice, but I’ll never look at it the same knowing its meaning.

I just love it so much for a girl even though it's supposed to mean "man" in Greek.

This isn't a feminine name. It literally means "man". I don't know how it became a popular name for girls, I would never think about naming my daughter "dude". In Italy it's still a predominantly masculine name, and a very popular one at that. I still prefer the forms Andre and Andreas, they've got a nicer edge to them.

Andrea's a beautiful name and I love it for a girl, only! I don’t like it for a boy at all because it sounds too feminine and I never thought of Andrea as masculine and it’s the feminine (girl) version of Andrew. I’ve also learned Andrew is being used for girls! The masculine form and the feminine form are both getting mixed up. Naming a boy Andrea is worse than naming a girl Andrew and like naming a boy Princess Flower Tiana.

I know Andrea was originally a boy's name, but it still sounds very feminine to me no matter how you pronounce it. I would just use Andre or Andrew instead.

I love Italian Andrea and Greek Andreas, unfortunately where I live it's used as a girl name so I couldn't use it for a boy :(.

It is hilarious to hear how people are convinced it is a feminine name. Andrea comes from the Greek work anér-andròs, which literally means 'MAN'. Not even man as human, but man as male, masculine, man. It's a men's name if there ever was one! I suppose it sounds feminine in germanic languages (english included) but it is actually where the name Andrew comes from.

People saying it sounds feminine should remember: 1) it originally was masculine, but because it ends in 'a' people believed it to be feminine. The same goes with Nicola; 2) the name starts with "andr" like many things that have to do with men (ex. Misandry) and there is a reason.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Andrea Ferro, the male singer from Lacuna Coil. They're an Italian metal/rock band with two lead singers, the other being Cristina Scabbia.

Sweetie, this is not the same name as the American "Andrea," which is the feminine form of Andrew and pronounced "ANNE-dree-uh." This a completely different, ITALIAN name, pronounced "Awn-DRAY-uh," and it is quite OBVIOUSLY a male's name.

In Italy Andrea is an ancient name, but it has been really overused in last 50 years. It was the 9th most popular name in Rome in 1966, the most popular in 1971, the 3rd behind Alessandro and Marco in 1976, the 4th behind Daniele, Alessandro and Marco in 1981, again the most popular in 1986, 1991 and 1994; it still ranks 3rd of the most popular names in Italy in 2004 and in 2006, always behind Francesco and Alessandro. Many Italians can hardly believe it is a feminine name in other countries.

Growing up in Sweden I knew one Italian boy named Andrea. It wasn't easy for him since Swedes only know it as a female name.
