Rhiannan

Meaning of Rhiannan

Rhiannan (pronounced ree-AN-uhn) springs from the misty Welsh legend of Rhiannon, the fleet-footed horse goddess, and carries the proud meaning “great queen.” She is rare on American birth charts—popping up here and there like a bright gulab jamun on a dessert tray—which only adds to her sparkle. The name marries Celtic harp strings with the playful jingle of Indian ankle bells, making space for a child who can chase monsoon puddles one minute and rule a fairy court the next. Parents hear strength, rhythm, and just enough mischief in those three syllables, and they love that their little Rhiannan will almost always be the only one in her classroom. Short name, long echo, pure inspiration.
