Ryanne Origin and Meaning

The name Ryanne is a girl's name.

Ryanne is a feminine name that combines elements of Ryan and traditional feminine endings. Originally, Ryan is an Irish surname meaning 'little king' or 'descendant of the king.' The addition of the feminine suffix '-anne' transforms the traditionally masculine name into a distinctly feminine form. Ryanne gained modest popularity in North America during the 1990s and 2000s, part of the trend of adapting masculine names for girls by adding feminine endings. The name offers parents the strong cultural heritage of Ryan with a softer, more feminine presentation. While never extremely common, Ryanne appeals to those seeking gender-adaptive names with Celtic roots and a modern sensibility.
