Census
Adrin in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 574 people with the first name Adrin, which placed it at #18,700 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 Adrin
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Adrin is Hispanic at 32.9%. The next largest groups are Black (27.2%) and White (23.5%). 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 Adrin 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 Adrin at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Adrin
The given name Adrin has its roots in the Latin language, specifically derived from the name Hadrianus, which was a Roman family name. The name Hadrianus is believed to have originated from the town of Hadria, located in northern Italy. This town's name is thought to be derived from the Latin word "hadrianus," meaning "from Hadria."
During the Roman Empire, the name Hadrianus was particularly notable due to the Roman emperor Publius Aelius Hadrianus, who ruled from 117 to 138 AD. Known as Hadrian, he was one of the most influential and respected emperors in Roman history, renowned for his extensive building projects, including the construction of Hadrian's Wall in Britain.
The name Adrin emerged as a variant of Hadrianus, likely through the influence of various languages and cultures over time. In the Middle Ages, the name appeared in various forms, such as Adrianus, Adriano, and Adrién, across different regions of Europe.
One of the earliest recorded examples of the name Adrin can be found in the 12th century, when an English monk named Adrin of Rivaux lived and wrote religious texts. Another notable figure was Adrin of Utrecht, a 13th-century Dutch philosopher and theologian.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Adrin. One such figure was Adrin de Vries (1545-1626), a Dutch historian and author known for his works on the history of the Netherlands. Another was Adrin Beikircher (1638-1686), an Austrian Baroque composer and organist.
In the 19th century, Adrin Mentienne (1815-1893) was a Belgian painter and engraver, renowned for his landscapes and cityscapes. Adrin Bachmann (1849-1920) was a Swiss architect and designer, known for his contributions to the Art Nouveau movement.
The name Adrin has also been found in various literary works and historical records, further attesting to its longevity and cultural significance across different regions and time periods.

FAQ
Adrin: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Adrin?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 357 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Adrin 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 960,096 US residents.
Is Adrin a common name?
We classify Adrin as "Very Rare". It ranks above 81.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 413 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Adrin most popular?
The single biggest year for Adrin was 1978, when 19 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Adrin is about 30 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Adrin in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 574 people with the name Adrin, or 0.19 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #18,700 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 Adrin 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 Adrin?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Adrin leans strongly male. 495 people counted with this name were male (86.1%), compared with 80 female bearers (13.9%). 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 Adrin?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Adrin is Hispanic at 32.9%. The next largest groups are Black (27.2%) and White (23.5%). 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 Adrin most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Adrin in the 2020 Census, accounting for 32.9% (189 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 Adrin in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Adrin a male name?
Yes, 97.1% of people registered as Adrin 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 Adrin still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Adrin 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 Adrin 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.
