Andriana
Greek at root, meaning "manly, brave," yet in Poland it's given only to girls. Around 1,400 women carry it, a Ukrainian name rare enough that most Poles have never met one, and newer births have already tapered off.
Andriana Pronunciation
Andriana is pronounced ahndr-YAH-nah (/andrˈjana/).
What Andriana means
Where Andriana comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Andriana comes from Greek, built on the root andr-, which means man. From there the name took on its sense of brave and strong, the quality older speakers called manly. It moved into Ukrainian use and stayed, and today it belongs mostly to girls.
The name keeps close relatives. Adrian is the masculine form, the version a teacher reads from a class register. Adriana is the variant with one letter fewer, familiar across Poland. Ada is the short form.
Greek gave the bones of the word, and Ukrainian gave it a home, so Andriana sits between two cultures without belonging wholly to either. For a girl who carries it, the meaning stays plain enough: brave and strong, with andr- at the root.
