Rianon

Rianon appears to be a variant spelling of Rhiannon, a name with Welsh origins from Celtic mythology. In Welsh legend, Rhiannon was a magical figure associated with horses and birds, known for her beauty and sovereignty. The name derives from the Old Celtic name Rigantona, meaning 'great queen' or 'divine queen.' This alternative spelling simplifies the traditional 'Rh' to 'R' and removes an 'n,' creating a more streamlined version while maintaining the melodic sound. While less common than the traditional spelling, Rianon offers the same mystical and regal associations. The name gained wider recognition in English-speaking countries after Fleetwood Mac's 1975 hit song 'Rhiannon,' though this variant spelling remains relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality while still connecting to its mythological roots.

Pronounced REE-uh-nun.
