Adrien as a feminine name represents the female version of Adrian, though it's more commonly used for males in French-speaking regions. Derived from the Latin name Hadrianus, meaning 'from Hadria' (an ancient town in northern Italy), it carries historical significance through Emperor Hadrian. As a feminine choice, Adrien offers a sophisticated French flair and gender-neutral appeal. This spelling variation gives the traditional name a graceful, continental touch while maintaining its classical roots. While less common for girls than Adrienne or Adriana, feminine Adrien has a modern, streamlined quality that appeals to parents seeking names that work across gender lines. The name balances strength and elegance, historical depth and contemporary style, making it a subtle but distinctive choice.

This spelling variation of Adrian was popular in France and Belgium during the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, peaking in 1991 when it reached the Top 20 in France. While it has since declined in use, it remains a familiar choice in French speaking countries. 
 
While some parents in the US may worry the -en spelling will be read as feminine (and too similar to Adrienne), the name actually featured in the Top 1000 from 1999 until 2021, peaking in 2009 when it reached #696	. Though it has now dipped out of the charts, it was still given to around 171 boys in 2024, compared to no girls at all. 
 
Ultimately derived from Hadrianus, a Roman family name associated with the ancient settlements of Adria and Atri in Italy, Adrian, and therefore Adrien, are also speculated to have come from an Illyrian word for "sea". 
 
Notably borne by actor Adrien Brody and by the character Adrien Agreste from Miraculous Ladybug, this spelling feels international, elegant, and strong, but equally slightly gentler than the more popular Adrian or the bold Hadrian.
