Is Adriano a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Adriano has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 68 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Adriano: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Adriano, and how old are they?
2,470 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 97% of the 2,545 Americans ever recorded as Adriano. The median Adriano alive today is 18 years old; half are between 10 and 27.
The 2020 Census counted 3,940 people named Adriano (50 women and girls, 3,890 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,136 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.8 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).
Where are babies named Adriano born?

Where Adriano is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Adriano is most over-represented in Florida: since 1921 it was given 1.8 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among boys’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Adriano with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
