I think the best way to help you is to find the dirivation of your
name and translate it into Hebrew. Andrew is Greek Ἀνδρέας from ἀνήρ
meaning a
"man" or "manly" from which ἄνθρωπος derives.

I agree that the derivation aner > anthropos makes sense
but this is not the mainstream approach, which considers that word to be of
unknown origin.
