Andoy

Andoy is a diminutive or nickname commonly used in the Philippines. It is often a short form of names like Andres or Fernando, but can also be used as a standalone name. Its usage reflects a common Filipino naming practice of creating affectionate and informal short forms from longer names. While not a traditional given name in the Western sense, its widespread use as a nickname has led to its occasional adoption as a formal first name, particularly in more recent times.
