Census
Adrina in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 1,738 people with the first name Adrina, which placed it at #8,364 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Adrina
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Adrina is Hispanic at 47.9%. The next largest groups are White (25.5%) and Black (15.4%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Adrina described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Adrina at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Adrina
The given name Adrina has its origins in the Latin language and culture, with its earliest recorded usage dating back to the Roman Empire. The name is believed to be derived from the Latin word "adrianus," which was originally an adjective meaning "from Adria," a town located in the northern Adriatic region of Italy.
In ancient Roman times, the name Adrianus was commonly used as a cognomen or family name among Roman citizens, particularly those with ties to the Adriatic region. Over time, the name evolved into various feminine forms, including Adrina, which became a popular given name for girls.
One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name Adrina can be found in the writings of Roman historian Tacitus, who lived during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. He documented the existence of a woman named Adrina, although little is known about her life or significance.
Throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance period, the name Adrina maintained a presence, albeit somewhat limited, across various parts of Europe, particularly in Italy and regions influenced by Latin culture. Notable historical figures bearing this name include:
1. Adrina of Hildrizhausen (c. 1060 - 1130), a German noblewoman and abbess of the Benedictine abbey in Hildrizhausen.
2. Adrina Bucca (c. 1370 - 1450), an Italian painter active in Florence during the early Renaissance.
3. Adrina Ferrero (1489 - 1557), an Italian scholar and humanist from Piedmont, known for her contributions to the study of ancient Greek and Latin literature.
4. Adrina of Saxe-Meiningen (1643 - 1712), a German princess and duchess consort of Saxe-Eisenach.
5. Adrina Navarro (1714 - 1793), a Spanish painter and portraitist who worked in the court of King Charles III of Spain.
While the name Adrina has maintained a presence throughout history, it has never achieved widespread popularity or recognition on a global scale. Its usage has primarily been confined to certain regions and cultures influenced by Latin language and traditions.

FAQ
Adrina: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Adrina?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1,540 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Adrina going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 222,568 US residents.
Is Adrina a common name?
We classify Adrina as "Rare". It ranks above 92.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 1,601 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Adrina most popular?
The single biggest year for Adrina was 2011, when 70 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Adrina is about 25 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Adrina in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 1,738 people with the name Adrina, or 0.58 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #8,364 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Adrina in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Adrina?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Adrina leans strongly female. 1,688 people counted with this name were female (97.1%), compared with 50 male bearers (2.9%). The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Adrina?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Adrina is Hispanic at 47.9%. The next largest groups are White (25.5%) and Black (15.4%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Adrina most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Adrina in the 2020 Census, accounting for 47.9% (832 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Adrina in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Adrina a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Adrina in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Adrina still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Adrina in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Adrina can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
