Drew has nothing to do with Andrew. In the year 1400 Drew Barentyn, twice Lord Mayor of London, came before the Council, asking to have his name Drew set down in the list of those who possessed the freedom of the city, the scribe having entered it as Andrew. Drew, as a fontal name, survived the Reformation.
