Adris

Meaning of Adris

Adris, a masculine given name pronounced uh-DRIS (/əˈdrɪs/), presents an onomastic profile characterized by a modern origin and sporadic yet sustained usage within Anglo-American contexts; although its precise etymological roots remain a subject of scholarly debate, prevailing theories posit that it may constitute either an innovative abbreviation of the Latin cognomen Adrianus—literally “of Adria”—or a phonetic variation of Andris, the Latvian iteration of the Greek Andreas, denoting “man” or “manly.” Data from the United States Social Security Administration indicates that annual occurrences have varied between five and ten male newborns from 2011 through 2024, with a peak frequency of ten registrations in 2022 and its highest chart position at rank 877 in 2011; in 2024, Adris was bestowed upon six infants, securing the 918th position in national popularity. The name’s relative rarity and distinctive phonological structure reflect contemporary Anglo-American naming conventions that favor unique yet linguistically coherent appellations, positioning Adris as a selection for parents interested in both classical antecedents and contemporary distinctiveness.
