It also occurs as a transferred surname, sometimes tracing to medieval names built on the Germanic element ragin “counsel” or to places called Rayne. Usage as a given name was uncommon until the late 20th century, when bearers like Raine Spencer and musician Raine Maida brought it wider notice and a clearly gender‑neutral image.
