Saint Andrew (Greek:'Ανδρέας, Andreas); early first century - mid to late first century CE), called in the Orthodox tradition Protocletos, or the First-called, is a Christian Apostle and the brother of Saint Peter. The name "Andrew" (from Greek : "ανδρεία", Andreia, manhood, or valour), like other Greek names, appears to have been common among the Jews from the second or third century BCE. No Hebrew or Aramaic name is recorded for him.
