Rheana is English in Origin.

Rheana is a modern feminine name in English, most plausibly blending Greek Rhea with the -anna/-ana ending and also functioning as a streamlined variant of Rhianna/Rhiannon. Rhea (from Greek rheo, “to flow,” and name of the Titan mother-goddess) contributes senses of “flowing” and maternal strength, while Rhiannon traces to the Celtic theonym Rigantona, “great/divine queen.” Together these strands suggest meanings such as “graceful flow,” “queenly grace,” or “motherly queen.”

The name surfaces in late-20th-century usage and remains rare, chosen for its familiar sounds yet distinctive spelling. Its rise has been buoyed by attention to near-cognates like Rihanna and classic Rhea. Variant spellings and relatives include Rheanna, Rheanne, Reanna, Riana, Rianna, Rhianna, and Rhiannon; short forms include Rhea, Rae, Rhi, and Ana. Rheana offers mythic resonance with a contemporary feel, bridging Greek and Celtic name traditions.
