Rhoanna is English in Origin.

Rhoanna is a rare modern feminine name in English, most plausibly a creative variant of Roanna/Rohanna with the Welsh-evoking “Rh-” spelling (as in Rhys, Rhiannon). Roanna is often read as a contraction of Rosanna (Rose + Anna, from Hebrew Channah “grace”), or as a reshaping of Rowena, a medieval literary name typically analyzed from Old English elements meaning “fame” and “joy.” Through Rohanna/Rohana it is sometimes also connected, by association rather than direct lineage, to Sanskrit rohana “rising, growth,” and to Rowan/Rohan (Gaelic “rowan tree; reddish”).

Usage is sporadic from the late 20th century onward across the UK, US, and other Anglophone regions, with no sustained chart presence - marking it as a distinctive, modern choice. Variants and near-forms include Roanna, Rohanna, Rhoana, Rhoanne; related names are Rosanna, Rowena, Rhiannon/Rhianna, Rowan. Meanings are usually interpreted as “graceful rose,” “fame and joy,” or “rising,” depending on the preferred derivation.
