ArchivesRe: Adria
in reply to a message by Silver
i'm not sure, but i think that sounds right! y'know the tv show Stargate SG-1? there was this young woman in season 10 named Adria who completely fits your definition of the name! and since SG-1 often uses names that have meanings that relate to/reflect the characters they belong to, i think that Adria has got to mean something along the lines of 'little dark one'.
hope my Sci-Fi obsessions have helped u somewhat! :) :)

Um . . .
The fact that it was used in a sci-fi programme has nothing to do with whether that meaning is correct.
The writers of the sci-fi show may have picked up on the false "little dark one" etymology and used it because they thought that's what it meant. That doesn't mean they were right; script-writers aren't name experts and there's no reason why they would know what constituted etymological accuracy and what was simply a misunderstood etymology, or even made up nonsense.

Quick Note.
We seriously look down upon guessing on this board. As we are often wont to point out, this is for people with a history of etymology and/or language to post here. Using SG-1 as a reference isn't going to fly here, same as as using a baby name site.
And, we also have really strict rules about writing in capitals and using proper punctuation so that those who speak English as an other language can understand the post.
