Meaning & Story
From Latin, meaning "from the Adriatic region" — classic, elegant, and with the romance of the Italian coastline.
Adriana carries the warmth of the Adriatic Sea in its syllables — a classic Latin-origin name meaning "from Hadria," the ancient city that gave the Adriatic its name. It's a name of considerable elegance, used across Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese cultures for centuries. For a female pet, it suggests beauty, warmth, and a certain Mediterranean ease. It's the name of a dog who lies in sunbeams and a cat who demands the finest things.
