Derived from Welsh 'rhion' meaning kings or lords, conveying noble and royal status.
Rhion comes from Welsh rhion, meaning kings or lords, and thus carries a distinctly noble and royal sense. The meaning is brief but weighty, giving the name a title-like authority. Rhion sounds lean and stately. It has the feel of a name that is both rare and dignified, with enough Celtic texture to suggest heritage without seeming ornate.
