Etymology
Andrew is the English form of the Greek name "Andreas", which was derived from "andreios", meaning "manly, masculine", a derivative of "aner", meaning "man".

Lee is derived from a surname, which was derived from Old English "leah", meaning "clearing".

Elwood is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and can derive from a locational name, or from an Olde English pre-7th Century personal name. As a locational surname, it derives from the place called Ellwood in Gloucestershire. The place name means "the elder wood", derived from the Olde English "ellern", meaning "elder tree", with "wudu", meaning "wood". Elwood may also be derived from the Olde English personal name "Aelfweald", which is composed of the elements "aelf", meaning "elf", and "weald", meaning "rule", and is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 in its Latinized form as "Aluuoldus" and "Alfuuold".
