From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. Latin Hadrianus, ‘of the Adriatic’; the name of a Roman emperor and of several popes, one of whom, Adrian III, was beatified. It has never been a popular name in England, but occurs from time to time from the beginning of the 13th C onwards. The earliest English example noted occurs in the Curia Regis Rolls 1189. It is possible that the introduction of the name into England may have been due to its adoption by Nicholas Brakespear (d. 1159), the only English pope, who took the name Adrian IV.
