- Derived from the old Celtic name Rigantona meaning "great queen". In Welsh mythology Rhiannon was the goddess of fertility and the moon. This name is also borne by a princess in Welsh legends, the wife of Pwyll. As an English name, it became popular due to the Fleetwood Mac song 'Rhiannon' (1976). Rhiannon originates in Welsh language and means "eminent, great queen or goddess". In Welsh mythology, Rhiannon was the wife of Pwyll and is associated with Rigantona, the goddess of fertility, and Epona, the goddess of horses. The given name was popularized by the 1976 song of the same name by Fleetwood Mac.
