My Name: Andreea
In English, in Romanian, in Greek, my name means "manly and courageous."
In Italian, 'Andrea' is a male name, the third most popular name in the country. Yest, I am a woman, sufficiently brave, and still a woman.
In Romanian, my native language, 'Andreea' is written with an extra "e" to avoid confusion with the Romanian word "andrea" meaning "knitting needle."
For my family, my name is very popular. According to the Christian Bible, Saint Andrew was one of the earliest disciples of Jesus and one of the twelve apostles. In Romania, we celebrate our holy "name days." Mine, Saint Andrei, falls on the 30th of November, and it is my second most special day following my birthday.
I've had my ups and downs with my name, the many ways it's been pronounced. But all in all, my name is interlaced and meaningfully connected with my culture, my family, and my identity, and for that, I care for it.
The mining Andrea is interesting and wonderful name, I think you are proud of your name teacher.
