Adrienna is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Adrienna has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Adrienna. That means that a girl named Adrienna is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Adrienna.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Adrienna. Girls named Adrienna have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 2,300 Adrienna ranked higher than ever before in 1989. By comparison, there have been 88 years in which the first name Adrienna has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Adrienna only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Adrienna was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Adrienna is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 27 Americans in total bear this name. And these 27 women are located in only four states: California, Illinois, North Carolina and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Adrienna and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Adrienna in relation to it’s female population is North Carolina. And yet even there, only one in 865,769 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Adrienna.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for girls’ names. 11.8% of all common girls’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in girls' names is S.
With eight letters, the name Adrienna is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 11.8% of all girls' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs over three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the girls' names that begin with the letter A, the name Ashley is the most common.
If your name is Adrienna and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
