English, French, German, Polish, and Romanian: from a vernacular form of the Latin personal name Adrianus (Hadrianus), originally an ethnic name denoting someone from the coast of the Adriatic (Latin Adria). It was borne by several minor early Christian saints, in particular a martyr at Nicomedia (died c. 304), the patron saint of soldiers and butchers. Later, the name was adopted by several popes, including the only pope of English birth, Nicholas Breakspear, who reigned as Adrian IV (1154–59).
