Hypocorisms of Andrew with prosthetic d. Andrew Kerr, son of the eighth lord of Ferniehurst, who died in 1499, was generally known as 'Dand Kerr.' Dand was common as a Christian name in the south of Scotland in the sixteenth century, and in the list of tenants under the Abbey of Kelso in 1567 we find Dand Howy, Dand Glernet, Dand Lermont, Dand Craige, Dand Stobe, etc. (Kelso, p. 518—532). Andrew alias Dandie Cranston, witness in Edinburgh, 1514 (Ros, 69). In 1642 we have record of Andreas alias Dand Plumbar filius Joannis Plumbar in Kelso (Retours, Berwick, 243), and Andrew alias Dand Greinfeild is recorded in Merton (RRM., I, p. 105). In the beginning of the seventeenth century seven Olivers, all with the forename Andrew or Dand, were distinguished by the part of the town (Kelso) in which each dwelt.

See Dendy. One Dandi occurs in the H.R. of Lincolnshire as an under bailiff, but whether that was his surname or his Christian appellation does not appear.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

The same as Dendy, found Dendye, Dendy, Dandie, Dandy; thought to be originally D'Awnay or Dawndy, which Lower thinks is the same as D'Aunai; and he says there are at least seven places called Aunai in Normandy, one of which, Aunai Abbaye, arrond. Vire, was an ancient barony, and from thence probably came the family. The name may also be from Dand, Dandy, familiarly used in Scotland for Andrew.
