Rheon is a unique and modern given name of Welsh origin, derived from the word 'rhyfel', which means 'war'. Traditionally, it has been used as a male name but can also be used for females due to its unisex nature in recent times. The name Rheon gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the late 20th century and continues to be chosen by parents looking for distinctive and meaningful names for their children. Its pronunciation varies slightly among different regions, typically rhyming with 'hen' or 'lean'. As a given name, Rheon does not have any specific associated saints or days of celebration in the liturgical calendar.
Rheon is quite rare, with only five babies named Rheon born in total over the year of 2020.
