Reanne

Girl name · 11 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Reanne: 11 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1998.

Reanne is a modern English name with several possible roots, most commonly viewed as a variant of the Welsh Rhiannon, which derives from Rigantona meaning "great queen." It may also be a blend of Rae (often linked to the Hebrew Rachel, meaning "ewe") and Anne (from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning "grace"). The most famous bearer is Reanne Evans, the English snooker player who has claimed multiple women's world titles. The name shares its Welsh origin with the Rhiannon of Celtic mythology, a goddess of horses and the moon, though no direct place connections exist. Spelling variants such as Reanne, Rianne and Rhianne give parents a range of stylish options, and the name saw a modest but steady presence in Scottish baby name records from the late 20th century onward.
