Rayn is a spirited unisex name (pronounced “rayn”) that feels like a gentle spring shower and a ray of sunshine all at once—offering parents a blend of nature’s freshness and timeless strength. Drawing inspiration from the Old English word for “rain” and the Germanic element ragin, meaning “counsel,” Rayn carries an undercurrent of wisdom and renewal that’s perfect for a little one destined to stand out with quiet confidence. Though still uncommon—hovering around the 900th rank in the U.S. in recent years with 29 babies christened Rayn in 2024—its steady, modest climb speaks to families seeking something both familiar and refreshingly modern. Whether whispered at a backyard barbecue or announced in a busy nursery, Rayn marries simplicity and sophistication in a way that feels warm, inviting, and full of promise.
