The Welsh name is derived from the common female name, Rhiannon meaning great queen and most associated with Rhiannon, a goddess of fertility, prominent in Welsh texts such as the Mabinogi.
The Welsh names have gained popularity outside of Wales through their use in music and entertainment, especially the song "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac and the Barbadian singer Rihanna.[1][2]
