History

The village dates back to the Kingdom of Hungary and the days of Árpád. Saint Stephen of Hungary gifted the village to the abbey of Zalavár, along with its fishing rights. The village's name appeared in writing in 1019 as "Adriani". The village derived its name from its church dedicated to Saint Adrianus, the patron saint of the abbey of Zalavár.
