Rianna Origin and Meaning

The name Rianna is a girl's name.

Rianna is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. Most commonly, it's considered a variant of Rhianna or Rhiannon, names with Welsh origins—Rhiannon being a figure in Welsh mythology associated with horses and birds, meaning 'great queen' or 'divine queen.' Alternatively, it could be a variation of Riana, which has Sanskrit roots meaning 'sweet singer.' The name gained moderate recognition particularly after the rise of singer Rihanna, though this spelling variant maintains its own distinct identity. Rianna offers a melodic quality that works well internationally, being relatively straightforward to pronounce across languages. While never reaching top popularity charts, the name has maintained steady usage since the 1990s, appealing to parents seeking a name that sounds contemporary yet has traditional roots.
