Reanna

Girl name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Reanna: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2003.

Reanna is a modern, melodic name that emerged as a creative variant of the classic Reanna, itself a form of the Irish name Ríoghnach, meaning “queenly” or “of the royal line,” rooted in the Gaelic *rïgan* (queen). It also shares a sound with the Welsh Rhiannon, a goddess linked to horses and the moon. Famous bearers are few, but American actress Reanna Presley and Canadian musician Reanna Cruz have brought visibility to the name. The spelling resonates with the Scottish island of Raasay, whose name shares no direct etymological link but a similar gentle rhythm. Reanna has seen modest, sporadic use in Scotland since the 1990s, often chosen for its lyrical, feminine tone.
