What does the name Adriana mean?
Adriana is the feminine form of Adrian, says Behind the Name, and Wikipedia calls it a Latin name used in Italy and Spain. Adrian comes from the Roman family name Hadrianus, which meant “from Hadria”. Hadria, now Adria, was an Etruscan port town in northern Italy.
Adriana nicknames and other forms
Behind the Name lists Adria and Drina as English diminutives, and Adrianna, Adrianne and Adrienne as variants. Wikipedia notes that the name is also spelled Adrianna, which is the usual Polish form.
Some famous Adrianas
Adriana Lima was born in Salvador, Bahia, in Brazil in 1981. Wikipedia says she walked in her first Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 1999 and was an Angel from 2000 to 2018, which makes her the brand’s longest-running Angel and model. She is also known for Super Bowl commercials, and Behind the Name mentions her as a famous bearer of the name.
Adriana through the decades
Adriana has been a steady choice for three decades. US Social Security data has it at 146th in the 1990s, 124th in the 2000s, when more than 27,400 American girls were named Adriana, and 176th in the 2010s. It is well used in Spanish-speaking and Italian families in the US.
Did you know?
Every Adriana shares a name with a sea. Behind the Name says the Adriatic Sea was named after the northern town of Hadria, the same place behind the name Hadrian. Wikipedia describes the Adriatic as the northernmost arm of the Mediterranean, with more than 1,300 islands, most of them along its eastern coast. Six countries border it, including Italy and Croatia.

Who is it for and how she can use it
Whether Adriana is eight or eighty, a 6" x 9" notebook is a comfortable size: big enough to write in properly, slim enough to carry. The 160 lined pages don’t come with a set layout, so she decides what it’s for. Journal, planner, class notes, recipes, travel log or doodle book all work. And with her name on the cover, nobody will mistake it for theirs.
Why personalized works
Personalized gifts show you thought about the person, not just the occasion. A notebook with Adriana on the cover is affordable, useful every day and still feels special. It’s also a safe choice when you’re not sure of someone’s style, because everyone needs somewhere to write things down.
