The history of the last name Adriance

The surname ADRIANCE is of Dutch origin and can be traced back to the 17th century in the Netherlands. It is derived from the Dutch personal name Adriaen, which is a variant of the Latin name Adrianus. Adrianus was a Roman family name derived from the city of Adrianopolis in ancient Thrace.

The earliest recorded instances of the ADRIANCE surname appear in Dutch records from the 1600s, with variations in spelling such as Adriaense, Adriaansen, and Adriaensz. These variations reflect the Dutch patronymic naming system, where the suffix "-se" or "-sz" indicated "son of."

One of the earliest known ADRIANCE ancestors was Willem Adriaensz, who was born in the Netherlands around 1620. He later emigrated to New Netherland (present-day New York) in the mid-17th century, becoming one of the first settlers of the ADRIANCE family in North America.

In the United States, the ADRIANCE surname has been associated with several notable individuals throughout history. One of the most prominent was John P. Adriance (1821-1904), a successful businessman and inventor from New York. He founded the Adriance Machine Company, which manufactured agricultural machinery and reapers.

Another notable ADRIANCE was Robert Adriance (1819-1895), a prominent figure in the anti-slavery movement and an ardent supporter of the Union cause during the American Civil War. He served as a colonel in the Union Army and was instrumental in raising funds and recruiting troops for the war effort.

In the literary world, the name ADRIANCE is associated with Lewis Adriance (1887-1953), an American author and journalist who wrote several books on outdoor life and fishing in the early 20th century.

The ADRIANCE surname has also been linked to several early settlers and pioneers in various parts of the United States. For example, Isaac Adriance (1773-1855) was one of the first settlers in the town of Adriance, Michigan, which was named after him.

Another notable bearer of the ADRIANCE name was Cornelius Adriance (1739-1815), a Revolutionary War soldier from New York who fought in several major battles, including the Battle of Saratoga.

While the ADRIANCE surname has Dutch origins, it has since become well-established in various parts of the United States, particularly in the northeastern states, where many early Dutch settlers first arrived and settled.
