Adreanna
Feminine · “from Hadria”
Adrian is named after a town that named a sea. Hadria was a small Roman settlement on the Italian coast, and the Adriatic takes its name from it — so a boy called Adrian and a body of water two hundred miles long are both named for the same modest place. Adreanna is the feminine, with an ea where most spellings put an ia.

The story of Adreanna
Hadrian the emperor made the name imperial, and a run of popes made it papal — six of them, including the only English one. Adriana and Adrianna are the feminines, standard in Italian and Spanish, and both reached America in the twentieth century. Once a name is widely given the spellings multiply, and the ea arrangement is one of several: it changes nothing audible and marks the name as a family's own. Adreanna appears in the record from 1975 and peaked in 1997.
Meaning
from Hadria
From the Latin Hadrianus, of Hadria — a town in northern Italy, now Atri, which also gave its name to the Adriatic Sea. The emperor Hadrian carried it, which is why the wall across northern England does too. The name says where someone came from and nothing else.
