Meaning and origin of Adrianna
Adrianna is a Latin and Italian name that means “from Hadria”.
Adrianna is a feminine form of Adrian, which comes from the Latin Hadrianus, meaning "from Hadria." Hadria was a town in northern Italy that also gave its name to the Adriatic Sea. The Roman emperor Hadrian, known for the wall he built across northern Britain, is the most famous bearer of the masculine form. Adrianna and its sister spellings Adriana and Adrienne are used across Europe and the Americas. The double-n spelling became common in the United States in the late twentieth century. It has an elegant, flowing sound, with Adri and Anna as nicknames.
