Adrienna

US Popularity Rank: 25316

Origin: Latin

Meaning: From Hadria

When it is time to show baby Adrienna the world, their name might just help you decide where to go first. This beautiful feminine moniker has Latin origins, deriving from Hadrianus, meaning “from Hadria.” Adrienna is a feminine form of Adrian, a masculine name that comes from Hadrianus. If Hadria wasn’t on your list of global travel destinations, there’s no need to fear, as the Roman settlements that were once called Hadria go by different names today. One is in northern Italy and is known as Adria, while the other, Atri, sits in the middle of Italy. Both of these towns look upon the Adriatic Sea, so if you and baby visit someday, there’ll be plenty of ocean views to admire! Adrienna could also be a lovely way to honor your Italian heritage, introducing baby to the place where their roots lie.
