You mean 'Orion's Belt' - this is a group of stars, not a full constellation, and it got its name because it is part of the constellation called 'Orion', with Orion being a hunter.
It's not a constellation but a group of stars, and it's 'Orion's Belt', not 'Ryan's Belt' - you're heard it wrong. The formation 'Orion's Belt' is in the constellation 'Orion' - supposedly Orion was a great hunter who Zeus put up among the stars.

Orion's Belt are the three bright stars in the center of the constellation Orion, the hunter. The center of the three stars is named Alnilam. Constellation
Alnitak, like many stars, was named by Arabic astronomers. They gave it the name Al Nitak which means "the belt", because they saw it as part of the belt of the constellation we call Orion.
