Queenly or royal
Riona is an Irish name derived from the word 'ríoghan,' meaning queen. It is often considered a shortened form of Catriona, though it stands alone as a distinct name with regal connotations in Gaelic culture. It remains a rare and sophisticated choice for parents seeking a name with Celtic roots that is easy to pronounce in English.
