Who was St. Andrew

Well according to Wikipedia he was Saint Peter's younger brother, and his name was definitely not his given name. There is apparently no documented evidence of Andrew or Andreas being his or anyone's name. So where exactly did he get his name. The question might seem a little perplexing until you take into account the fact that most of these characters were Jews. The first few editions of the bible were written by Christians who didn't want to proclaim that all their buddies were Jews...so they started referring to them all as AND Jew. But over time, as more and more Christian names were created, many of those AND Jew were given proper names except by the time they got to peter's younger brother…they ran out of names and just went with ANDJEW, which later metamorphed into ANDREW.

And that's the twruth!
