Riona is a girl's name that has traveled across the world with all its amazing origins. In Japanese, this beautiful baby name can be spelled in several ways using kanji characters. Its most common Japanese translation is broken down into “dignity” or “awe-inspiring” and “cherry blossom,” making it perfect for those looking for a respectable yet fruitful name. While in Greek, Riona is a shortened version of Catriona, meaning “clear of shame or guilt,” giving this name an innocent touch. In Irish, Riona’s definition is as equally exceptional as the rest, with the meaning of “saint” or even “king”—relating to the ancient Irish name Ríonach.
