Reannon is Welsh in Origin.
Reannon is a modern English respelling of the Welsh name Rhiannon, ultimately traced to the Celtic theonym Rigantona, “great/divine queen.” In medieval Welsh literature (the Mabinogion), Rhiannon is a sovereignty figure celebrated for poise, endurance, and justice; the mythic aura underpins the name’s regal sense. Despite its ancient roots, the given name entered broader Anglophone usage only in the 20th century.
Usage of Rhiannon rose sharply after Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 song “Rhiannon,” prompting creative spellings such as Reannon. This form keeps the same meaning while softening the initial Welsh rh- for English speakers. Related variants include Rhiannon (standard Welsh), Riannon, Rhianon, Rhianna, and the short forms Rhi and Ann/Annie; masculine or unisex analogues are rare. Reannon suits families seeking a mythic yet approachable choice that evokes queenship, resilience, and lyrical Welsh heritage.
