Adrianov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adrianov (Russian: Адриа́нов; masculine) or Adrianova (Адриа́нова; feminine) is a Russian last name.[1] Variants of this last name include Andriankin/Andriankina (Андриа́нкин/Андриа́нкина), Andrianov/Andrianova (Андриа́нов/Андриа́нова), Andrin/Andrina (А́ндрин/А́ндрина), Andreyash (Андрея́ш), Andriyashev/Andriyasheva (Андрия́шев/Андрия́шева), and Andriyashin/Andriyashina (Андрия́шин/Андрия́шина).[1]

All these last name derive from various forms of the male first name Adrian, which comes from Latin Adrianus, meaning an inhabitant of Adria (cf. Adriatic Sea).[1] The forms starting with "An-" have likely formed by analogy with the names like Andrey and Andron.[1]
