Meaning
feminine form of Adrian, from 'Hadrianus', meaning 'from Hadria'
The story
Adrianna is a feminine form of Adrian, says Behind the Name, and Adrian is the form of Hadrianus used in several languages: the Roman cognomen meaning "from Hadria", a name carried by several saints and six popes, including the only English pope. The double-n spelling kept a quiet American line for half a century, double digits from the 1910s through the 1950s, then built: about 340 girls in the 1960s, about 990 in the 1970s, about 3,310 in the 1980s, about 11,570 in the 1990s, about 17,180 in the 2000s, about 12,020 in the 2010s, and about 2,480 so far this decade. A Roman town at the root, a papal name in the middle, and an American spelling that did its climbing late and fast.

share of that year’s name registrations
First names given to children born in Poland by year of birth, 2000–2025, from the PESEL population register (Ministry of Digital Affairs); exact spellings count separately (Łukasz and Lukasz are different names), names given fewer than 5 times in a year were left off the list through 2012 and fewer than 2 times from 2013, and the register also counts children born abroad, so its yearly sums run above Poland’s live births.
