There is no meaning for perfect nouns.
Its just a name.
Many words are derived from it.

Thank you for your response.
yes nouns don't have meanings but derived from a root word and there is always a logic behind any name why it has been put like that.
i feel that definitely our state was also named with certain reason

Andhra was originally the name of a tribe. This tribe was a nomadic one and the hills and rivers adjacent to the habitat of this tribe were named after the tribe - Andhra. Gradually the area where this tribe settled was called "Andhra". There is a valley near Bombay called the "Andhra Valley". There is a small river in Maharashtra called "Andri" (anDri). A subriver of Tungabhadra is also called "Handri" (handri). During 220 AD the word "Andhrapathamu" was used in the inscriptions in Ballari district. This is the evolutionary sequence of the word "Andhra". The language spoken by Andhras was given the name "Andhra Bhasha" finally.

Finally we got the answer for the question. Thank you phani for the detailed description and history related to the origin behind the name.
There are many cities and towns in Andhra which have their origins from the tribes which lived there.
For example: Inkollu, a small town in prakasam district actually means "no water". This was actually a word which was originated from the language of nomads who once came to this place and were denied of water. This made them angry and made them to say these words telling the people that there should be no water in this place and people should suffer
And similarly Addanki was originated from two names of people Aadi and yenki
