Adrie is of Dutch origin, derived from the word 'adriatische', which means ' Adriatic'. It's often used as a female given name in the Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium). The name is associated with the Adriatic Sea, suggesting a sense of freedom, beauty, and perhaps even a touch of exoticism. Adrie is also sometimes considered a short form or variant of names like Adelaide or Adriana. In terms of popularity, Adrie has not been among the top 100 names in recent years in either the Netherlands or Belgium, making it quite unique but not excessively rare. The name's meaning and its association with the Adriatic Sea might inspire images of coastal towns, clear blue waters, and warm Mediterranean breezes, lending it a certain charm and allure.
"Adrie experienced a notable surge in popularity starting around the year 2000, with peaks in 2003 (14 births) and 2010 (19 births). However, it appears that its prominence has been declining since the late 2010s, with fewer than 10 births each year from 2017 onwards."
