What is the meaning of the name Adry ?

Adry is in Origin.

Adry is a modern, largely unisex short form of the Adrian/Adriana family, especially common in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking circles, where the -y ending marks an affectionate nickname. It ultimately derives from Latin Hadrianus, “person from (H)adria,” the ancient town that gave its name to the Adriatic Sea. The wider family of names gained prestige through the Roman emperor Hadrian, early saints, and several medieval and early modern popes; feminine forms spread widely from the Renaissance onward.

As a stand-alone given name, Adry keeps the place-derived sense “of Hadria/Adriatic.” Close variants include Adri (the most prevalent spelling), Adrie (Dutch diminutive), and pet forms like Addy; related full forms are Adrian/Adrián/Adrià, Adrien, Adriano, and Adriana/Adrienne. It is sometimes confused with Audry/Audrey, which has a different Old English origin, but Adry remains distinct and internationally adaptable.
