Meaning & History

Old Welsh name, possibly derived from Proto-Celtic *roino- meaning "hill, plain" (the source of Scottish Gaelic raon meaning "plain, field") or Proto-Celtic *rnf which meant "secret" and "magic" (the source of Middle Welsh rin which meant "mystery" and "charm" as well as Modern Welsh rhin meaning "secret"). In Welsh mythology, this was the name of a character in The Tale of Taliesin. It was also borne by historical Welsh princes of the 6th and 12th centuries.
