His feast day is celebrated on November 30, and he is often depicted in Christian iconography with a saltire cross. The name gained further prominence through the translation of the Bible into various languages, including the King James Version in the early 17th century, which helped to solidify the name's presence in Christian contexts.

The feminine form, Andree, has been used in several European countries, particularly in French-speaking regions, where it has retained its connection to the original masculine form while also embodying a distinct identity.
