Rhiannya is Welsh in Origin.
Rhiannya is a modern elaboration on the Welsh name Rhiannon, likely blended with Anya (a diminutive of Anna). Rhiannon traces to the Old Celtic theonym Rigantona, meaning “great queen” or “divine queen,” while Anya/Anna stems from Hebrew Channah, “grace” or “favor.” Taken together, Rhiannya is often interpreted to carry a lyrical mix of regal strength and grace.
Usage of Rhiannya appears in the late 20th and early 21st centuries within English-speaking countries during the broader Celtic-revival trend; it remains rare and stylistically distinctive. Near-variants include Rhianna, Rianna, Rheanna, and the source form Rhiannon; related Welsh short forms include Rhian and Nia. Nicknames may be Rhi/Rhia, Anya, or Nia. Note that the look-alike Rihanna (Arabic ريحانة, “sweet basil; fragrance”) is etymologically unrelated, though its pop-cultural visibility has influenced awareness of similar spellings.
Rhiannya doesn't appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. It's the kind of name that tends to be rare, regional, or newly made up. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
