The story
Andrés came to the Americas aboard the first Spanish ships, the Spanish form of Andrew, from a Greek name traditionally read as manly or brave. Its most beloved modern bearer in sport is Andrés Iniesta, the quiet Barcelona midfielder whose passing seemed to slow the game to his own tempo, and who scored the goal that won Spain the 2010 World Cup final deep in extra time, the only World Cup his country has ever claimed. In US records Andrés has the shape of a heritage classic: present at a steady, modest level for as long as the records run, and a touch stronger from the 1980s onward as Spanish-speaking America grew. It has never spiked and never vanished, which is its own quiet recommendation: an evergreen rather than a fashion, with one of the gentlest heroes in soccer attached.
