Census
Adriauna in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 186 people with the first name Adriauna, which placed it at #40,168 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.

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Adriauna 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 Adriauna at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Adriauna
The name Adriauna is a unique and intriguing moniker that has its roots in the Mediterranean region. Its origins can be traced back to the ancient Roman Empire, where it is believed to have been derived from the Latin word "Adrianus," which means "from Adria." Adria was a town located in the northern part of the Adriatic Sea, from which the name of the sea itself was derived.
In ancient times, the name Adriauna was likely used to denote someone who hailed from or had a connection to the Adriatic region. It is possible that the name was initially a locational surname or a descriptive epithet before evolving into a given name in its own right.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Adriauna can be found in the writings of the Roman historian Livy, who mentioned a woman by this name in his seminal work, "Ab Urbe Condita" (From the Founding of the City). This work, which chronicles the history of Rome from its founding to the author's time, was written in the late 1st century BC.
Throughout the centuries, several notable figures have borne the name Adriauna. In the 5th century AD, Adriauna of Carthage was a renowned Christian martyr who was executed for her faith during the persecution of Christians under the Vandal king Huneric.
During the Renaissance, Adriauna Bianchi (1465-1520) was an Italian painter and illuminator who was active in Florence and is known for her intricate miniature paintings and illuminated manuscripts.
In the 18th century, Adriauna Lecouvreur (1692-1730) was a celebrated French actress who was renowned for her performances in tragic roles and is considered one of the greatest actresses of her time.
More recently, Adriauna Espinoza (1904-1986) was a Mexican artist and writer who was known for her vivid depictions of indigenous life and culture in her paintings and literary works.
Another notable figure was Adriauna Caselotti (1916-1997), an American voice actress and singer who provided the voice of Snow White in the classic 1937 Disney animated film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."
While the name Adriauna may be rare in modern times, it holds a rich history and a connection to the ancient civilizations that thrived along the Adriatic coast. Its unique sound and intriguing origins make it a captivating choice for those seeking a name with a touch of Mediterranean flair and a sense of historical significance.

FAQ
Adriauna: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Adriauna?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 244 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Adriauna 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 1,404,731 US residents.
Is Adriauna a common name?
We classify Adriauna as "Very Rare". It ranks above 76.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 248 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Adriauna most popular?
The single biggest year for Adriauna was 2003, when 20 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Adriauna is about 21 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Adriauna in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 186 people with the name Adriauna, or 0.06 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #40,168 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 Adriauna 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 Adriauna?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Adriauna leans strongly female. 179 people counted with this name were female (98.4%), compared with 3 male bearers (1.6%). 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 Adriauna?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Adriauna is White at 37.6%. The next largest groups are Black (37.1%) and Two or More Races (12.9%). 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 Adriauna most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Adriauna in the 2020 Census, accounting for 37.6% (70 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 Adriauna in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Adriauna a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Adriauna 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 Adriauna still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Adriauna 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 Adriauna 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.
