The surname Riordan or O'Rearden has its origins in Ireland and is of Gaelic origin. It is derived from the Irish personal name Rioghbhardan, which translates to royal bard or royal poet. The name was initially used to denote a person who held a position of importance as a poet or bard in ancient Irish society.

The Riordans or O'Reardens were prominent in County Cork, Munster, Ireland. They were known for their contributions to Irish literature and poetry, often serving as court poets to local chieftains and kings. The O'Reardens were part of the prominent Ó Ríordáin clan, which was one of the ruling families in Munster.

During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many of the Gaelic noble families, including the O'Reardens, were displaced and lost much of their power and land. They continued to maintain their cultural and linguistic traditions, however, and many O'Reardens remained prominent in the field of Irish literature and poetry.

In later years, with the Anglicization of Irish surnames, the prefix O was often dropped, and the name became simply Riordan. Today, Riordan or O'Rearden is still a relatively common surname in Ireland and is also found in Irish diaspora communities worldwide.
