Hadrianus is Latin in Origin.
Hadrianus is the classical Latin form of a Roman cognomen meaning "man from Hadria/Adria," a town in northern Italy whose name gave rise to the Adriatic Sea. As a toponymic, its primary sense is geographic; a secondary association with Latin ater "dark" appears in later folk etymology but is not the historical source.
Borne conspicuously by the emperor Publius Aelius Hadrianus (Hadrian, 2nd century CE), the name endured in imperial, ecclesiastical, and scholarly Latin. Several medieval and early modern popes took the name Hadrianus (Hadrian I, II, III, IV, V, VI), cementing its prestige. Vernacular variants include Hadrian (English, German, Dutch), Adrian (pan-European), Adriaan (Dutch), Adrián (Spanish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian), Adriano (Italian, Portuguese), Adrien and Hadrien (French), Adrian/Адриан (Russian), and Adrianos/Αδριανός (Greek). Feminine forms such as Adriana reflect the same root. Today Hadrianus itself appears mainly in liturgical, academic, or historical contexts.
