History & Origin

Reannah is one of several respellings that gathered around Reanna in the late twentieth century, when parents liked the melody of Rhiannon but preferred a plainer, more phonetic look. Through Reanna the name reaches back to the Welsh Rhiannon, the radiant queen of Welsh legend, so its meaning of a great or divine queen is genuinely inherited even though this particular spelling is recent.

Reannah stayed rare across its run, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its high around 2005, fading again within a decade. A girl named Reannah then would be a young adult today.

Did you know? Reannah rode the same wave as Reanna and Brianna, part of a late-twentieth-century fondness for flowing -anna endings on American girl names.
