Andy (given Name)
Andy, also spelled Andi, Andie or Andee, is predominantly a diminutive version of the male given name Andrew, and variants of it such as Andreas and Andrei. The form of the variation is based on the Scottish "-ie" diminutive ending. ''Andrew'' is derived from the Greek name ''Andreas'', meaning "manlike" or "brave". Andy is also occasionally used as a diminutive for the female given name Andrea in the English, German, Scandinavian and Spanish feminine version of the name Andrew (although Andrea is a masculine name in Italian). Although it is uncommon, some people named Alexander go by Andy. It is also occasionally spelled "Andie", "Andi", or "Andee" (these more often as a feminine name, but not exclusively). As a masculine name, it can also be a variant of Anthony (especially Andon, Andoni, Andonis, Andonios, Andoniaina & Andony). Andy can also be a feminine given name as an alternate form of Andrea. The Indian names Anand and Anindya are also sometimes shortened to Andy. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Unisex
Unisex is an adjective indicating something is not sex-specific, i.e. is suitable for any type of sex. The term can also mean gender-blindness or gender neutrality. The term 'unisex' was coined as a neologism in the 1960s and was used fairly informally. The combining prefix ''uni-'' is from Latin ''unus'', meaning ''one'' or ''single''. However, 'unisex' seems to have been influenced by words such as ''united'' and ''universal'', in which ''uni-'' takes the related sense ''shared''. Unisex then means ''shared by sexes''. Examples Hair stylists and beauty salons that serve both men and women are often referred to as unisex. This is also typical of other services and products that had traditionally been separated by sexes, such as clothing shops or beauty products. Public toilets are commonly sex segregated but if that is not the case, they are referred to as unisex public toilets. Unisex clothing includes garments like T-shirts; versions of other garments may be tailored for the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
