Riaan
Origin:Dutch
Meaning:From Hadria
Riaan is a masculine name used in Dutch and Afrikaans. Short for Adriaan, the Dutch form of Adrian, Riaan’s ancient roots stretch back to the Latin Hadrianus. Meaning “from Hadria” or “of the Adriatic,” Riaan is a subtle nod to places in Italy and the sea on its eastern coast. Its uncommon double “a” spelling makes Riaan memorable, giving baby a boost when making a confident first impression.
