Your gentle yet epic little one deserves a formidable name with not one but two origins, and that’s where iconic Rihanna steps in. A household name thanks to the music artist and designer Rihanna, this feminine name flaunts Arabic and Welsh origins. As an Arabic title, Rihanna is a form of Rayhana and Raihana, with the fresh and fragrant endearment of “sweet basil.” As a Welsh name, Rihanna derives from the Celtic Rigantona, meaning “Great Queen,” for the royal arrival here to claim their throne.
