Raffie is in Origin.
Raffie is an English pet form most commonly derived from Raphael, the Hebrew name Rafa’el meaning “God has healed.” Through Christian and Jewish tradition, the archangel Raphael embedded the name across Europe, spawning forms such as Spanish/Portuguese Rafael, Italian Raffaele, French Raphaël, and English Raphael. Familiar nicknames include Rafa, Rafi/Raffi, and Raffy; feminine counterparts are Raphaela/Rafaela and French Raphaëlle.
As Raffie, the double‑f + -ie spelling fits the modern British nickname-as-given-name trend alongside Alfie and Archie, and it also appears as a short form of the Irish surname name Rafferty (Ó Raifeartaigh, often interpreted as “prosperity/abundance”). Whether linked to Raphael or Rafferty, Raffie carries a bright, affectionate sound while nodding to either healing or good fortune - making it an approachable choice with deep linguistic roots and broad cross-cultural recognition.
