Riordan

Riordan is an Irish surname, from Ó Ríordáin.

It appears most recognizably in Rick Riordan, the American author of young adult fantasy novels including the Percy Jackson series, which blends Greek mythology with contemporary settings.

As a given name, Riordan is uncommon but occasionally chosen for its Celtic sound.
