Rhiana is Welsh in Origin.
Rhiana is a modern feminine name most often treated as a streamlined form of Welsh Rhiannon, the mythic horse-goddess of the Mabinogi. Rhiannon derives from Old Celtic Rigantona, commonly glossed "great queen" (from elements meaning "queen" with an augmentative). Thus Rhiana carries connotations of majesty, sovereignty, and poetic allure. Typical English pronunciations are ree-AH-na or ree-AN-uh.
As a given name, Rhiana rose in Anglophone use in the late 20th century alongside the revival of Rhiannon (boosted by the 1975 Fleetwood Mac song). After the mid-2000s, awareness grew further through the global fame of singer Rihanna, which also encouraged simplified spellings. Variants include Rhianna, Rianna, Riana, Rheanna, and the longer Rhiannon; related forms in other traditions include Arabic Rayhana/Rihana "sweet basil; fragrant sprig," a separate etymology sometimes associated with the spelling. Diminutives: Rhi, Ria, Ana.
