Andis është një variant i Andes, emër personi shumë popullor tek Illirët që jetonin në territorin sotëm të Bosnja dhe Hercegovina, më specifik në pjesën jugore të provincës së Panonia dhe në pjesën veriore të Dalmacia.[1] Due to this particular geographic distribution, the origin and the meaning of Andes may be connected to the name origin of Andizetes, a small Illyrian community whose home was precisely present day Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Due to a widespread distribution of names like Andio, Andena, Andinus, found throughout the entire territory inhabited by ancient Illyrians, we can presume that the pertinent root word is "and-". [2].

Indeed, the closest corresponding word (and a possible cognate) is the Proto-Albanian word Anda, meaning "a strong desire", from which a modern Albanian word of "Andja" ("desire", "wish" or "lust") besohet te vijë nga kjo fjale[3]. [4]

Versioni femëror përfshin edhe Andia dhe Andena.

The name of ancient Celtic[nevojitet citimi] god, Andinus (Deo Andino sacrum) is yet another word that has been related to this personal name.[nevojitet citimi]
