The men's fight as name for a woman?
I got curious since "andros" is a Greek word.
The suffix "andru/andra" is in Rom. too
copil-andru, cãTel-andru, bãieT-andru
There are some toponims as Andronache but I cannot make andy connection
with the name "andromache" .
The toponym Andronache should be maybe a derivative of "Androne"= family
name . About the etym. of "Androne" I have no clue.
