Meaning & History
Latinized form of NEANDROS. However, in modern times, this name is best known as a surname - the most prominent bearer of which is the German theologian and hymn writer Joachim Neander (1650-1680). His paternal grandfather had translated the family's surname of Neumann (which literally means "new man") to Greek and then romanized it.
