Meaning uncertain; possibly derived from Lenore or Riona
The exact etymology of Rinoa is debated. It is widely considered a variation of the name Lenore, meaning 'light,' or a phonetic adaptation of the Irish name Riona, meaning 'queenly.' It gained global recognition through Japanese popular culture in the late 1990s.
