Rahne is a modern, rare given name with strong Scottish associations; it is most commonly treated as a creative spelling of Raine/Rayne or as a phonetic rendering of the Scottish Gaelic Raonaid (the Gaelic equivalent of Rachel). Pronunciations vary - RAHN (to mirror Gaelic) and RAYN (as with Raine) both occur.

As a respelling of Raine/Rayne, it carries multiple readings: from Old French reine “queen,” as a nature name “rain,” or as a shortened form of Lorraine. Through the Raonaid/Rachel route, it inherits the Hebrew meaning “ewe.” The name’s visibility in Anglophone countries rose after Marvel introduced the Scottish mutant character Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane) in 1982.
