Rhiain is from the Welsh rhiain (maiden, nymph, virgin). Rhiain Davies — modern Welsh-American figure. Rhiain Bebb — Welsh artist. Rhiain Lewis — Welsh academic. Rhiain Hutchings — modern figure. Princess Rhiain — Welsh royal heritage naming.
Rhiain does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Rhiain reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
