The story of Andreanna
Feminizing happens in waves, and a name that was made a woman's name in one century will often be made one again in the next. The first conversion is usually a single vowel — add an a, and the man's name becomes a woman's. A generation later that result is so familiar that it stops reading as derived at all, and parents wanting something more elaborate lengthen it again with a second ending. The record shows both stages plainly: the short feminine peaks first, the long one twenty or thirty years later, and the second wave is always the more decorated. Nothing is added in meaning at either stage. What is added is length, which in American naming has always read as formality.
Meaning
Manly, of a man
The Greek root means a man, and the name built on it was a man's name that Latin and Italian feminized by adding a vowel. Lengthening it again adds no further meaning: the extra syllables are decoration on a conversion that had already been made.

Fashion outlook
Andreanna sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
