Rheanan is Welsh in Origin.

Rheanan is a modern respelling of Welsh Rhiannon, a name rooted in the Celtic theonym Rigantona, interpreted as "great queen" or "divine queen." In medieval Welsh literature (the Mabinogion), Rhiannon is a sovereignty figure associated with horses, eloquence, and endurance, which anchored the name’s mythic prestige. As a given name, it saw a pan-Celtic and English-language revival in the 20th century, breaking into wider use after Fleetwood Mac's 1975 hit "Rhiannon."

Rheanan preserves the same meaning while softening the look and hinting at the familiar element Rhea. Related spellings include Rhiannon, Rhianon, Rheannon, Reannon, Reannan, Riannon, Rhianna, and Rhiana; short forms include Rhian and Rhi. Still uncommon, Rheanan fits current tastes for Welsh and mythic names and offers flexible nicknames without losing its regal etymology.
