Rhianne is Welsh in Origin.
Rhianne is a modern Welsh-influenced feminine name, typically pronounced ree-ANN, created as an elaboration of Rhian or as a streamlined variant of Rhiannon. Rhian derives from Welsh rhiain meaning 'maiden, girl', while Rhiannon goes back to the Brythonic theonym Rigantona, 'great or divine queen'. Because of these twin roots, Rhianne is interpreted either as 'maiden' or 'great queen', with both readings circulating in contemporary name guides.
Use of Rhianne rose in Wales and England from the late 20th century, riding the broader popularity of Rhiannon after the 1975 Fleetwood Mac song and the fashion for Welsh names beyond Wales. It remains relatively rare in North America. Related forms include Rhian, Rhiann, Rhiane, Rhiannon, Rhianna, and Rihanna (note: Rihanna also has a separate Arabic origin, Rayhana, meaning 'sweet basil'). Common nicknames are Rhi or Rhia, and Annie.
