Orianthi is Greek in Origin.

Orianthi is a modern Greek feminine name built from the elements oraia (ωραία, “beautiful, fair”) and anthi (άνθη, “flowers, blossoms”). In Greek it is often written Ωραιάνθη, yielding transliterations such as Oraianthi or Oreanthi, and the sense “beautiful flower” or “fair blossom.”

The name is not recorded in classical sources and appears primarily in modern Greek and Cypriot usage, with rare occurrence abroad. It drew wider international attention through Australian guitarist Orianthi (born 1985), which helped introduce the form to English-speaking audiences in the late 2000s. Variant spellings include Oraianthi, Oreanthi, Orianthe, and Oriantha; diminutives and nicknames used in Greek families include Anthi, Ria, and Ori. Related names sharing the -anthi (flower) root are Anthea, Evanthia, and Chrysanthi. With its clear etymology and lyrical sound, Orianthi offers a distinctive, botanical choice that still feels authentically Hellenic.
