Rioannah is in Origin.

Rioannah is a modern, rare given name, most likely a blend of Rio and Anna/Hannah. In Spanish and Portuguese, rio means “river,” while Anna/Hannah trace back to Hebrew Channah, “grace, favor.” The name can thus be read as “river of grace” or “grace by the river.” Some also see it as fusing the Irish Ríona (related to Ríoghnach, “queenly”) with Hannah, yielding “queenly grace.” Its -annah ending places it alongside the enduring Anna/Johanna family without being traditional.

Usage has emerged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries in English-speaking countries, reflecting trends toward nature/place elements and elaborated -ah endings. Spelling variants include Rioanna, Rioana, Rionna, and Rionah; nicknames range from Rio and Ria to Io, Anna, and Annie. With multicultural roots and gentle imagery, Rioannah offers a distinctive yet accessible choice.
