Rhianne

Rhianne is a feminine name with Celtic origins, primarily considered a variation of Rhiannon, which comes from Welsh mythology where Rhiannon was a goddess associated with horses and fertility. The name could also be seen as a combination of 'Rhi' (from Rhiannon) and 'Anne.' Rhianne gained modest popularity in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and other English-speaking countries during the 1990s and early 2000s. The name carries a lyrical, flowing quality with its soft 'rh' sound and melodic ending. Less common than Rhiannon but more accessible in pronunciation, Rhianne offers Celtic heritage with a contemporary feel, appealing to parents seeking a name with cultural roots that remains relatively distinctive.

Pronounced ree-AN.

As of October 2026, Rhianne ranked #13170 in US births in 2020 SSA, peaked at #7916 in 1998.
