Meaning & Story
A variant of Rhianna or Diana, meaning 'great queen' in Welsh or 'goddess' in Latin — luminous and strong.
Riana is a soft but strong feminine name with possible roots in Welsh mythology (as a variant of Rhianna, meaning 'great queen') or as a variant of Diana (the Roman goddess of the hunt and moon). Either way, it carries a luminous, regal quality. Female pets named Riana tend to be graceful but with a quiet inner authority — the kind of cat who decides where she sits and no one argues. Elegant and subtly powerful.
