If you ask for most common surnames, no we don't have it. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_names#Naming_forms)

 

Western names started trending in Indonesia in the 1990s.. And parents usually has the "unique" reference behind the names. For example my name, Griffin, is from English footballer Andy Griffin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Griffin). My mom found it when she was reading a sport newspaper , unaware about the mythological creature.

 

My sister has got 3 Gabriellas in her class and all of their parents said that they are inspired from Gabriella Sabatini

 

Oh, Andrea is also used for males here

Interesting info. I didn't know that "García" either meant "bear" or "young"

 

I didn't either, and I speak basque....

[Jur 683]

And about Andrea, it's used for womens here because literally means WOMAN (but like in a polite way, more like lady) in basque.

But also in whole Spain is used for women, like Andrea Blas (waterpolo silver medallist in London)
