Cedriana
A girl's name with 32 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Only 32 babies have been named Cedriana in recorded U.S. history. That level of rarity means your child would almost certainly be the only one in their school, their workplace, and most rooms they walk into — a genuinely one-of-a-kind choice.
Cedriana is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Cedriana is a girl's baby name of Unknown origin, a feminine form of Cedric, which was coined by Sir Walter Scott in his 1819 novel Ivanhoe. Scott likely based Cedric on the historical name Cerdic, a Saxon king, and while the exact meaning remains uncertain, it may connect to the Celtic cadr meaning 'battle leader.'
Cedriana is an inventive feminization of a literary name — layering the romantic heritage of a Scott novel onto a feminine suffix. It suits parents drawn to old-world literary names with a distinctive, rarely heard sound.
