Boy name · 9 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Reon: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2014.

Reon is most familiar in Scotland as a modern variant of Ryan, the anglicised form of the Irish name Rían, meaning “little king.” This Gaelic origin gives it royal overtones while keeping a sleek, contemporary feel. Alternatively, Reon appears as a Japanese name, where it can mean “lotus sound” or “dignified” depending on the kanji used. The name has seen occasional use among musicians and actors, though it remains relatively rare. As a modern twist on a classic, Reon offers parents a fresh alternative to Ryan without straying too far from familiar territory. It also shares its sound with the Scottish surname Ranald
