Adrianne

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Adrianne: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1992.

Adrianne is the feminine form of Adrian, which traces back to the Latin *Hadrianus*, meaning "from Hadria"—an ancient town in northern Italy that also lent its name to the Adriatic Sea. The name gained prominence through the Roman Emperor Hadrian, builder of Hadrian's Wall. Notable modern bearers include American actress Adrianne Palicki, known for her roles in *Friday Night Lights* and *Orville*, and Adrianne Curry, the first winner of *America's Next Top Model*. While places named directly after Adrianne are rare, the root appears in countless locations around the Adriatic coast. This spelling is a graceful variant of the more common Adrienne, and in Scotland it has seen modest but steady use since the 1970s, offering a classic yet slightly distinctive choice.
