Origin: Latin

Meaning: City of Hadria

Hadria is considered a feminine name and is the Latin form of the Etruscan Atria, known today as Adria, a city in Italy. Thought to be the eponym for the Adriatic Sea, Hadria’s meaning is theorized to be either “the black city” from atrum or “water” or “sea” from adur. Hadria may bring to mind Emperor Hadrian of the Roman Empire, famed for his love of Greek literature and Egyptian mysticism and for establishing Hadrian’s Wall in Britain. Hadria glides off the tongue with classical grace, giving something beautiful and different for parents seeking a place-inspired name for their little one.
