Tríona

Tríona Origin and Meaning

The name Tríona is a girl's name.

Tríona is a feminine Irish name derived from the Gaelic word 'ríghin,' meaning 'queenly' or 'royal.' The name is sometimes considered a variation of Katherine or Trinity. In Irish mythology and culture, Tríona carries associations with strength and nobility. The accent over the 'i' (called a fada in Irish) elongates the vowel sound, giving the name its distinctive pronunciation (TREE-oh-na). While common in Ireland, Tríona remains relatively rare in other English-speaking countries, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a name with Celtic roots and unique character. The name's royal connotations lend it a sense of dignity and grace.
