Rhoinah is in Origin.

Rhoinah is a rare feminine given name, likely a modern elaboration that blends the Celtic-Scottish Rhona with the -inah suffix familiar from names like Dinah. The unusual oi spelling and internal h suggest a contemporary, stylistic respelling, and recorded use appears scattered in recent decades rather than rooted in older naming traditions.

Its meaning is read through the roots it resembles. If linked to Rhona, it inherits associations with the Scottish place-name Rona, often traced to Old Norse hraun "rough, stony ground" + ey "island," yielding "rough island" or "stony island"; some also connect Rhona to Welsh Rhondda "noisy" (river). If connected to South Asian Rohina, it echoes Sanskrit roh- "to rise, grow," hence "growing/ascending." Variants include Roinah, Rohinah, Rhoina, and Rhonah, with Rhona and Rohina as related forms.
