Origin
Meaning and history of Adarrion
The name Adarrion appears to be a unique and relatively modern name, with no clear connections to ancient languages or historical records. It is likely a invented or coined name, perhaps inspired by elements of existing names, rather than being directly derived from a specific linguistic or cultural origin.
Despite its lack of documented historical roots, some possible influences and speculations can be made about the name Adarrion. The first part, "Adar," may be related to the Hebrew name Adar, which means "fire" or "glorious." The latter part, "-rion," could be inspired by names ending in "-ion," such as Orion or Arion, which have Greek origins.
However, there are no definitive records of the name Adarrion being used in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical documents from any particular culture or time period. The earliest known examples of the name seem to be relatively recent, with the first recorded instances appearing in the late 20th or early 21st century.
While the name Adarrion may not have a rich historical pedigree, there are a few notable individuals who have borne this name in modern times. One example is Adarrion Buckner, an American football player who played defensive end for the University of Illinois from 2014 to 2017.

FAQ
Adarrion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Adarrion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Adarrion 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Adarrion a common name?
We classify Adarrion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Adarrion most popular?
The single biggest year for Adarrion was 2016, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Adarrion is about 10 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
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 Adarrion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Adarrion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Adarrion in the SSA data are male. 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 Adarrion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Adarrion 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 Adarrion 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.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
