What is Rihanna's full name?

The story behind the answer

Rihanna’s full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.

She was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty in Saint Michael, Barbados, and performs professionally under her middle name, Rihanna. The name became globally recognized after she began her recording career in the mid-2000s and released hits including “Pon de Replay,” “Umbrella,” and “Disturbia.”

Rihanna is not only a singer. She has also worked as an actress, founded the Clara Lionel Foundation, and built major business ventures including Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty. Her surname, Fenty, is therefore familiar beyond music and appears prominently across her fashion and beauty brands.

A frequent mistake is shortening her name to “Robyn Fenty” or reversing the order of her given names. “Robyn Rihanna Fenty” is the standard full name used in biographies and reference works, while Rihanna is her professional name.
