Origin
Meaning and history of Edriana
The name Edriana has its origins in the ancient Greco-Roman world, derived from the Latin root "aedrus," meaning "to sit" or "to reside." It is believed that the name initially referred to someone who lived a sedentary lifestyle or resided in a particular place for an extended period.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Edriana can be found in a Roman census record from the 2nd century AD, where it was listed as the name of a woman living in the city of Pompeii. This suggests that the name was in use among the Roman populace during the height of the Roman Empire.
In the Middle Ages, the name Edriana gained popularity in certain parts of Europe, particularly in regions with strong Roman influence, such as Italy and Spain. It was sometimes used as a variant of the name Adriana, which shared a similar linguistic root.
One notable historical figure bearing the name Edriana was Edriana de' Medici (1465-1516), a member of the powerful Medici family in Renaissance Florence. She was known for her patronage of the arts and her support of artists such as Michelangelo and Raphael.
Another prominent individual with the name Edriana was Edriana Isidora (1810-1892), a Spanish poet and author who wrote extensively about the struggles of women in 19th-century Spain. Her works were influential in the early feminist movement in her country.
In the realm of religion, Edriana was the name of a Christian martyr from the 3rd century AD, who was said to have been executed for her faith during the Roman persecutions. The account of her martyrdom is recorded in the ancient text "Acta Sanctorum" (Acts of the Saints).
Moving into more modern times, Edriana Ferreira (1915-1998) was a notable Brazilian actress and singer who rose to prominence in the mid-20th century. She was renowned for her performances in numerous Brazilian films and television shows.

FAQ
Edriana: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Edriana?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 45 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Edriana 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 7,616,763 US residents.
Is Edriana a common name?
We classify Edriana as "Very Rare". It ranks above 52.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 46 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Edriana most popular?
The single biggest year for Edriana was 2017, when 10 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Edriana is about 18 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 Edriana in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Edriana a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Edriana 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 Edriana still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Edriana 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 Edriana 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.
