Due to a widespread distribution of personal names like Andio, Andis, etc., and female versions Andia, Andena, etc., as well as the theonym Andinus, which are found throughout the territory inhabited by Illyrians, a presumable root word would be*and-.The name may also be connected to the root of the tribal nameAndizetes,a small Illyrian community of Pannonia.
