Census
Adrielle in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 952 people with the first name Adrielle, which placed it at #12,871 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.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Adrielle
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Adrielle is White at 33.2%. The next largest groups are Black (25.9%) and Hispanic (19.4%). 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 Adrielle 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 Adrielle at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Adrielle
The name Adrielle is a feminine given name of French origin, derived from the Latin name Hadrianus, which was a Roman family name. It is believed to have its roots in the Etruscan name Atrie, meaning "from Adria," a city in northern Italy.
The earliest recorded use of the name Adrielle dates back to the late 16th century in France. It gained popularity during the Renaissance period, particularly among the French nobility and aristocracy.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Adrielle was Adrielle de Laviefville, a French noblewoman born in 1589. She was a prominent figure in the court of King Louis XIII and was known for her involvement in court intrigues and political machinations.
Another notable figure was Adrielle de Montmorency, born in 1628, who was a French courtier and lady-in-waiting to Queen Marie Antoinette. She gained notoriety for her involvement in the infamous Affair of the Diamond Necklace, a scandal that rocked the French monarchy in the years leading up to the French Revolution.
In the 18th century, Adrielle de Caumont, born in 1712, was a French writer and philosopher who was part of the Enlightenment movement. She was known for her salon in Paris, which attracted many prominent intellectuals and thinkers of the time.
During the 19th century, Adrielle de Ligne, born in 1810, was a Belgian aristocrat and writer. She is remembered for her memoirs and her involvement in the cultural and literary circles of her time.

FAQ
Adrielle: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Adrielle?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1,131 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Adrielle 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 303,054 US residents.
Is Adrielle a common name?
We classify Adrielle as "Rare". It ranks above 90.9% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 1,146 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Adrielle most popular?
The single biggest year for Adrielle was 2019, when 79 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Adrielle is about 15 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Adrielle in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 952 people with the name Adrielle, or 0.32 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #12,871 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 Adrielle 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 Adrielle?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Adrielle leans strongly female. 917 people counted with this name were female (96.6%), compared with 32 male bearers (3.4%). 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 Adrielle?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Adrielle is White at 33.2%. The next largest groups are Black (25.9%) and Hispanic (19.4%). 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 Adrielle most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Adrielle in the 2020 Census, accounting for 33.2% (316 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 Adrielle in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Adrielle a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Adrielle 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 Adrielle still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Adrielle 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 Adrielle 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.
