From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Andrew yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Andrew's 57% decline over the past decade ranks second-steepest in this batch, behind Jayden's 60%. Its rank peaked at #5 in 1988, a year after the raw count's own high of 36,205 in 1987.
Its total climbs past 1.3 million births since 1880, a longer, larger history than most of the names surrounding it in this range.
Andy Warhol (born Andrew Warhola), two US presidents (Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson), and industrialist Andrew Carnegie span art, politics, and business across two centuries — a name whose historical weight hasn't slowed its recent fall.
