Rheann is a modern English feminine given name, most likely a creative respelling and blend of Welsh Rhian/Rhiann or Rhiannon with the classic Ann/Anne, sometimes visually influenced by Rhea. As such, its meanings are typically read through its roots: Rhian derives from Welsh rhiain, “maiden,” while Rhiannon goes back to the Celtic theonym Rigantona, “great queen”; Ann/Anne traces to Hebrew Hannah, “grace” or “favor.” Parents often interpret Rheann along the lines of “graceful maiden” or “gracious queen.”

The name appears in English-speaking records from the late 20th century onward and remains rare, fitting the broader fashion for Celtic-inspired names and inventive spellings sparked in part by the popularity of Rhiannon in the 1970s. Related forms and near-variants include Rheanne, Rhean, Reann, Reanne, Rhiann, Rhian, Rianne, Riann, Rhianna/Rihanna, Rianna, and Rae-Ann. Short forms may include Rhea, Ree, or Annie.
