[1] Until 1861, the land on which modern Sukhanivka is located belonged to landholders named Sukhanov, Yefanov, and Mazan.

Small hamlets grew up on the territory, several named after the men, including Bykivka, Yefanivka, Mazanivka, Sukhanivka and Khomychivka.

Andriivka was formed by the merger of the Bykivka, Yefanivka, Mazanivka, Sukhanivka and Khomychivka hamlets.
