}}Rhian ({{IPAc-en|lang|pron|ˈ|r|iː|ən}} {{Respell|REE|ən}}) is a feminine given name, a variation of rhiain, the common Welsh word for "maiden".[2]Rhian is sometimes used, albeit rarely, as a male name, possibly a modern spelling variant of Ryan [3]. The first root, Rhian-, derives from British rix "king"; the second, Rhiein-, derives from a word meaning "maiden, virgin"
