EspañolANDIS
'Andis' is a personal name found among the Illyrians of southern Panonia and much of northern Dalmatia (corresponding roughly with modern Bosnia and Herzegovina). A more frequently occurring variant is Andes. Due to this particular geographic distribution, the origin and the meaning of the name (Andis, Andes) may be connected to the name origin of Andizetes, a small Illyrian tribe whose home was precisely present day Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Andes and Andis resemble Greek names, with word endings of ''es'', or ''is'', as opposed to more typical Illyrian name endings of ''o'', and ''on'', like Andio, which too were found throughout the Illyrian territories, but predominantly in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Female versions of the name include Andia and Andena.
The closest, or the most similar corresponding word pertaining to the etymology of Andis, or Andes is the Proto-Albanian word ''Anda'', meaning ''a strong desire'', from which a modern Albanian word of ''Andja'' (desire, wish or lust) is believed to derive.
Relation to other Indo-European words, with the word root of ''And''/''Ant'' may be found too. A Spanish word, "anden" , meaning terrace, in reference to the cultivation terraces is one. It is precisely this particular word (Spanish ''Anden'') that is often cited in relation to the etymology of the well known mountain range in South America, the Andes.
However, one other theory says that the name of Andes (the mountain range) comes from the Quechua word ''Anti'', which means "high crest". The relation between this native American word and Illyrian ''Andia'', or Proto-Albanian ''Anta'', although it may not seem plausible at this stage, may be interesting in the light of the possible discovery of pyramids in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which in turn may shed some more light on ancient history.
The name of ancient pagan god, Andinus (Deo Andino sacrum) is yet another word that has been related to this personal name.
