Origin of the name Rhianna:

Borrowed from the Welsh, Rhiannon is an ancient Celtic name of uncertain derivation. Some believe it to be derived from the Old Celtic Rigantona (great queen). The name, which is borne in Celtic Mythology by a goddess of fertility, was not used as a given name until the 20th century. Its popularity outside Wales is due in large part to the song "Rhiannon" by the rock group Fleetwood Mac.

Personal experiences with the name Rhianna: | Edit

Growing up with this name was a little difficult. Teachers could never pronounce it, and I still have family members that pronounce it ana instead of anna. I've also had various nicknames involving banana; nanners, B, Rhi-nanna. But it love how unique my name is, and I love that every time I say my name I get asked, "Like the Fleetwood Mac song?"
