Raisy is a Yiddish‑influenced feminine given name used in Ashkenazi Jewish communities. It most often reflects the Yiddish Raizel/Reizel, a pet form of Rosa/Rose, ultimately from Latin rosa via Germanic, meaning “rose.” In Eastern Europe it also aligned with the Russian Raisa, usually traced to Greek rhadios “easy, relaxed” or interpreted as “gracious.” Owing to this dual path, Raisy can carry both the floral sense “rose” and the virtue sense “easygoing, gracious.”

Documented in 19th–20th‑century Jewish life across the Russian Empire, the name persisted in diaspora communities and remains frequent in Hasidic families today. Spelling varies by language and transliteration: Raizy, Raizi, Reizy, Reyzi; related forms include Raizel/Reizel and the Slavic Raisa/Raysa. In Hebrew records it was sometimes matched to Rachel or Rosa for religious or legal purposes, though not etymologically identical. Diminutives and nicknames include Rayzie and Reyz.
