Origin and meaning

Edrian emerged in the late 20th century in the Philippines as part of a naming trend favoring blended, modernized Western-sounding names. It is closely linked phonetically to Adrian, but is predominantly used in the Philippines as an independent coinage.

Edrian is a modern Filipino given name, likely developed as a phonetic variation of Adrian (Latin 'from Hadria') or as a parental portmanteau blending 'Ed-' (from Edward, Edwin, or Eduardo) with '-rian' (from Adrian or Brian).
