What Adrianna means
Where Adrianna comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
The name Adrianna traces back to a small word for a place. Behind it stands Hadria, a town in northern Italy that also gave its name to the Adriatic Sea. The Polish reading, pochodząca z hadrii, means the one who comes from Hadria.
In Poland the name settled into Slavic speech and grew a family around it. The name is old. Adriana is the close variant, softer by a single letter. The masculine form is Adrian. The short diminutive is Ada.
The Roman emperor Hadrian bore an older shape of the name, Hadrianus, and left it stamped on walls and coins across the empire. Read a school register in a Polish class and you may find an Adrianna among the girls, an Adrian a few rows down. Whatever the full form, most who carry it answer just as often to Ada.
