Jadranko is a South Slavic male given name commonly found in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is derived from Jadran,[citation needed] which means "The Adriatic" in South Slavic languages. Therefore it is closely related to Adrian and its variants (such as Adriaan, Adriano, Adrien, etc.) and Hadrian. The feminine form is Jadranka.
