The name Rian comes from the Galic and is the original spelling of Ryan. Rian is beleived to be the male version of Rhianon. The link is deep in Celtic mythology.

The main character in the first of my series called Andromeda is called Rian. So I hope to see this name published in the near future!

This seems to me as a feminine spelling of Ryan. I'm not saying the name is feminine, just the spelling.
