History & Origin
Adraine is a variant of Adrienne, the feminine form of Adrian, from the Latin Hadrianus, 'from Hadria.' Hadria was a town in northern Italy, and the name also attaches to the Adriatic Sea and to the emperor Hadrian. Adraine rearranges the letters of the familiar Adrienne into a more personal spelling while keeping the sound, in the modern American manner.
It was never common, reaching about fifteen girls a year at its best around 1968 and appearing from the mid-nineteen-fifties into the late eighties. An Adraine from that peak is now in her fifties, and the name reads as an individual, of-its-era respelling of Adrienne rather than a name with a separate tradition.
