Its etymology is not universally agreed, but it is commonly associated with Arabic roots connected to fragrance or herbs, such as riḥān or related forms meaning basil or aromatic scent. The name is also treated as a variant of similarly sounding names such as Rihanna or Rihana, reflecting transliteration differences from Arabic, Persian, or South Asian languages.

In terms of usage, Ryhana is most often found among communities with ties to the Middle East and South Asia. It has appeared in diaspora populations in Europe and North America, where it is sometimes chosen for its melodic, culturally resonant sound.

Cultural associations of the name are generally positive, evoking fragrance, sweetness, and freshness. As with many names of Arabic origin, its reception can vary by language and community.
