Today's name of the day is
RHIANNON (girl's name; Welsh origin; meaning "goddess; intuitive.")
RHIANNON might ring a bell if you're a fan of the legendary rock group Fleetwood Mac. In 1976, lead singer Stevie Nicks famously sang about a woman named
RHIANNON in a song bearing the same title. It's considered one of the band's most well known tunes, and
Rolling Stone Magazine ranked "
RHIANNON" as #488 in their listing of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
If you follow Welsh mythology, you might be familiar with
RHIANNON as a mythical goddess. In 1972, author Evangeline Walton published a fantasy novel based on the mythical goddess entitled "The Song of
RHIANNON."
Interestingly enough, Fleetwood Mac's "
RHIANNON" wasn't inspired by the mythical goddess. Nicks has said that she heard the name
RHIANNON and thought it was beautiful, so she decided to write a song about a woman bearing the name. She claimed the concept of the song came to her while waiting in an airport, and has stated it took only ten minutes to write.
