Variant of Rowena, possibly from Welsh 'rhon' (lance) or Germanic 'hrod' (fame) and 'wynn' (joy).
Rhoena is a variant of Rowena, possibly linked to Welsh rhon meaning lance or to Germanic elements for fame and joy. That gives it a layered background, with both martial and graceful associations available depending on the path traced. The name feels literary and slightly regal. Rhoena has the elegant sweep of an older heroic name, but its variant spelling keeps it feeling fresh and uncommon.
