Girl name · 137 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Adriana: 137 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 20 births in 2016.
Adriana is the feminine form of Adrian, tracing back to the Latin *Hadrianus*, meaning "from Hadria," an ancient town in northern Italy that also gave us the Adriatic Sea. While the name carries a distinctly Italian and Spanish flair, it has found a warm welcome across Scotland. Among its most famous bearers are supermodel Adriana Lima and Adriana Caselotti, the original voice of Disney's Snow White. The town of Adria itself still stands in Italy, a direct link to the name's ancient roots. A close variant is Adrienne, the French equivalent, making Adriana a beautifully melodic choice that feels both classic and cosmopolitan.
