History & Origin

Reannon is an easier-to-read spelling of Rhiannon, a Welsh name connected to the sense of 'great' or 'divine queen' and carried by a radiant figure in the medieval Mabinogi. Its American rise followed the popular Fleetwood Mac song, a tie worth noting.

It was never common in this spelling, given to only about twenty girls a year around its peak in the early nineteen-eighties, just after the song spread the name. A girl named Reannon then is in her forties today.

Did you know? Reannon simplifies Rhiannon's Welsh spelling; the name reached American ears widely through the Fleetwood Mac song Rhiannon of the mid-nineteen-seventies.
