Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Juhoslovanské ženské meno utvorené z mužského mena Jadran príponou -ka. Základom je pomenovanie Jadranského mora. Názov Jadran súvisí s latinským Adrianum mare; latinský pôvod zemepisného základu treba odlišovať od juhoslovanského utvorenia osobného mena.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Pôvod, slovotvorbu a chorvátsku tradíciu dokladá Portal suvremenih hrvatskih osobnih imena, heslá Jadran a Jadranka. Slovenské skloňovanie vyplýva zo vzoru žena. Domácke podoby sú možné slovenské rodinné útvary, nie doložený zoznam obľúbených zdrobnenín; Jadranka je základný tvar používaný aj pri oslovení. Medzinárodné položky zachovávajú pôvodný zápis, nepredstavujú doložené osobitné národné ekvivalenty. Konkrétne heslo v publikácii Majtána a Považaja ani stanovisko JÚĽŠ SAV k tomuto menu nebolo priamo overené.
