When you are expecting a baby, many questions immediately arise: where to buy a crib, which stroller to prefer, what to name the baby? And then suddenly comes the understanding of how many names there are in the world, and how difficult it is to choose any of them. After all, every dad and every mom wants to give the baby a special, harmonious and unusual name, at the same time having a good meaning.
Today we will pay attention to female names, and to be precise, we will find out what the name Riana means. It should be borne in mind that it goes back to several sources and may have Muslim, Celtic (English), Arabic roots. Therefore, depending on the considered variant of the origin, Riana, the meaning of the name, as well as its history, changes.
According to Anglo-Saxon sources, the history of this name originates from the longer "Rhiannon", later shortened to a simpler and more concise "Rian". The meaning of the name has several variations: "great queen", "divine queen", "sacred queen". These transcripts, in principle, have the same meaning, but different shades. Thus, a great queen should command reverence, a divine one should awe, and a sacred one should love.
Given that "Rhiannon" comes from the word "Riani" - "queen" and the reinforcing particle "he", which has several interpretations already given above, we can conclude that when people discard "he " and leave "Riana", the meaning of the name becomes obvious and gets rid of the uncertainty. "Queen" is how the Celts would describe a girl bearing this name.
According to Arabic sources, "Riana" is the name of the seasoning, which can be translated into Russian as sweet basil. That was the name of one of Muhammad's concubines, and the name meant exactly the grass, but, quite possibly, it was on this soil that the Muslim "Riana" was born, the meaning of the name of which is interpreted as "pleasure", "pleasure", "bliss".
There is also a second translation from Arabic, and, of course, most of the owners of this name will prefer its basilica. "Soul from God", that's how you can interpret Rian. The meaning of the name, if we talk about translations from different languages, can vary greatly and present surprises, because there are consonant words in many Turkic languages. So, for example, if we translate this name from the Kazakh language (although there it sounds more like "Raykhana"), then we will get the meaning "ruddy, red-cheeked".
So, if we summarize the meaning of this name from all of the above, we will get the following result. Rianacarries all the sweetness of the East, charming and bewitching, but at the same time powerful and domineering. They say about such girls "honey of my soul" and "delight of my eyes" while they dance with daggers, dangerous and beautiful at the same time.
In general, Riana is a name well suited for a girl who has oriental or Muslim roots. But this does not mean that it will not suit a burning blonde of Aryan appearance. Rare, unusual, pleasing to the ear, and, moreover, having a great meaning - the name Riana will be happy to wear any representative of the fair sex.
