Edraye is English in Origin.

Pronounced eh-DRAY or ED-ray, Edraye is a modern English given name formed from the Germanic root Ed- (from Old English ead, "wealth, prosperity") combined with Ray/Rae - either the English word "ray (of light)" or the nickname from Raymond (from Germanic ragin, "counsel"). Together the blended meaning suggests "prosperous light" or "fortunate counsel." The spelling also echoes Edrei, a biblical place name, though Edraye is generally treated as a distinct contemporary creation rather than a direct variant.

Usage is very rare but noted in the late 20th and early 21st centuries among parents seeking a sleek, two-syllable name with familiar parts and a fresh profile. Variants and near-forms include Edray, Edrae, Edrei/Edrey, and the stylized Edre; feminized extensions such as Edrea or Edraya appear as well. Possible nicknames are Ed, Drey/Dre, and Ray/Rae. The name reads as unisex and travels easily across languages due to its simple sounds.
