Raian is Arabic, Irish in Origin.

Raian is a modern cross‑cultural given name with two main roots. In the West it functions as an alternative spelling of Ryan, the Anglicized Irish surname Ó Riain, borne by descendants of the medieval personal name Rían. The exact meaning of Rían is debated; many link it to rí “king” with a diminutive sense ('little king' or 'kingly'), though some scholars prefer 'illustrious' or leave it unexplained. In Arabic contexts, Raian often reflects Rayyan (رَيّان), meaning 'well-watered, luxuriant; satiated,' and by tradition the name of the gate of Paradise reserved for those who fast.

Usage follows these paths: Raian appears in Brazil, Lusophone and Hispanophone countries, South Asia, and the diaspora as a phonetic/orthographic variant. Related forms include Ryan, Rian, Rían, Rayan, Rayyan, Raiyan, and Ryann. The name is unisex in some communities, though predominantly masculine, and carries either regal Irish or verdant spiritual imagery depending on origin.
