It`s probably just a coincidence, but there is a Portuguese surname ANDRADA or ANDRADE.

"Andrada" is tracian feminine name. No idea what it could mean and it begins with "andra-" in this case. I wonder if Romanian "mândru/mândrã" (lover) has any connection here or this is indeed a derivation from Slavic "mo~dru" which should have meant "wise". I hope Czech "modru" here is not from Slavic "mo~drU" since so far I remember this is an adjectiv and means "blue".
P.S. some people see Rom. noun "mândru" (lover) as a simply adaptation of the
adjective "mândru"= proud.
