Adrija meaning
Adrija (अद्रिजा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Born of the mountain; a name of Parvati or Durga
Also used to mean: daughter of the mountain
Adrija (अद्रिजा) joins Sanskrit adri, "rock" or "mountain", with -ja, "born of". Monier-Williams records the adjective adrija as "produced from rocks or mountains" and the feminine adrijā as a name of Pārvatī or Durgā, who in Hindu tradition is the daughter of Himavat, lord of the Himalaya. It belongs to the same family of names as Girija and Shailaja, which also mean "mountain-born". Name lists give it as "daughter of the mountain" or simply "Parvati". It is used especially in Bengal and eastern India.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Parvati.
