Origin and meaning of Adriano

Adriano comes from the Latin Hadrianus, 'from Adria,' the ancient town on the upper Adriatic that gave the sea its name. It therefore means 'coming from Adria.' The name is linked to the great Roman emperor Hadrian, builder of the Pantheon and of the wall across Britain. Very common in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Latin America, it appears as Adrian and Adrien across the rest of Europe. Elegant and manly, with a full, harmonious sound, it is a classic that never fades.
