About the name Adrien
Adrien is the French form of Adrian, which comes from the Latin Hadrianus, a family name meaning from Hadria, a town in northern Italy. The town also gave its name to the Adriatic Sea. In France the name was carried by the mathematician Adrien-Marie Legendre, whose work on elliptic integrals, number theory and the method of least squares shaped modern mathematics. The spelling Hadrien, closer to the Latin original, is also found in French usage. Adrien has a feminine counterpart, Adrienne, and the name is pronounced with a nasal final syllable that distinguishes it from the English Adrian.
