Andin is a name of Basque origin and means "valley". It is believed to have been derived from the Basque word "anden", which refers to a valley or a pass between mountains. The name has been used historically in Spain and France, particularly in regions with significant Basque populations.
The name Andin is not particularly well-known outside of these areas, but it does appear occasionally throughout history. One notable figure with this name was André de Dammartin, also known as Andin IV, who was a French nobleman and lord of Dammartin-en-Goële in the 13th century.
In terms of its popularity, Andin is not currently among the most common names in Spain or France. However, it does have a certain uniqueness that may appeal to some parents looking for an uncommon name with a meaningful origin story.
The name Andin was not particularly popular in the United States during the year 2004, with only five babies being given this name at birth. However, it is important to note that even though the number of births may be small, each child is unique and special in their own way, regardless of how common or uncommon their name may be. It's also possible that Andin could become more popular in future years as trends change over time. Nonetheless, the total number of births with this name across all years remains relatively low compared to other names.
