What is the meaning of the name Andriano ?

The baby name Andriano is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced an-DREE-ah-no (IPA: /ænˈdriːɑːnoʊ/).

Andriano is Latin in Origin.

Andriano is a Romance given name, chiefly Italian, functioning as a rare analogical variant of Adriano (Adrian). It ultimately derives from Latin Hadrianus, “from Hadria,” the northern Italian town that lent its name to the Adriatic Sea; the inserted n reflects influence from Andrea/Andrés, built on Greek andr- “man, male.” Parish registers in Italy and Italian- or Iberian-influenced communities occasionally note Andriano from the 18th century onward, though Adriano has remained the dominant form. Through its base, the name is associated with Emperor Hadrian and multiple saints and popes named Adrian.

Variant and related forms include Adriano, Hadriano, Adrián (Spanish), Adrião (Portuguese), and Italian Andrea/English Andrew as cognates by root. Diminutives and nicknames commonly used are Andri, Adri, and Riano. Andriano carries the toponymic sense “from Hadria/Adriatic,” with an added “manly, courageous” nuance via the Greek andr- element.
