Adrín
Adrín Origin and Meaning
Adrín is a masculine name primarily used in Spanish-speaking regions, particularly in Spain and parts of Latin America. It represents a variant spelling of Adrián, which derives from the Latin name Hadrianus, meaning 'from Hadria' (an ancient town in northern Italy). The name carries historical significance through Emperor Hadrian and several saints named Adrian. While the standard form Adrián is quite popular across the Spanish-speaking world, the variant Adrín is considerably less common, offering a distinctive alternative. The removal of the second 'a' gives the name a crisper, more modern sound while maintaining its recognizable roots. The accent on the 'í' indicates the stressed syllable in Spanish pronunciation (ah-DREEN). For parents seeking a Spanish name with historical depth but a contemporary feel, Adrín strikes an appealing balance.
