Rinney is in Origin.

Rinney (pronounced RIN-ee) is a rare modern given name tracing to several roots. Most directly, it appears as a creative spelling of Rennie/Renny, the Scots surname-turned-forename derived from Reynold/Reginald, from Old Germanic ragin "counsel" + wald "rule," yielding the sense "wise ruler" or "power of counsel." It can also function as a softened pet form of Renee or Renata, from Latin Renatus, meaning "reborn." In Gaelic contexts, similarity to Irish and Scottish Gaelic rinn/rinne ("point, headland") lends a subtle place-name echo, though this is secondary.

As a first name, Rinney surfaces in late-20th-century English-speaking usage alongside upbeat -y/-ie nicknames adopted as standalones. The name is unisex in feel but skews feminine. Close variants and diminutives include Rinny, Rinnie, Renny, Rennie, and Rin; related forms are Renee, Rene, Renata, Renato, Reginald, and Reynold. Overall, Rinney blends vintage roots with contemporary whimsy.
