Rangey is English in Origin.

Rangey is a rare, modern given name with several plausible origins. In an English context, it can arise from the surnames Ranger or Rangeley, linked to the occupational title “ranger” (a forest warden or one who ranges the countryside) and to “range” as an expanse or boundary. In South Asian usage, it echoes Hindi–Urdu rang and Sanskrit raṅga, meaning “color, dye, passion,” giving it the sense of “colorful” or “full of zest.” The name is unisex and largely contemporary in adoption.

Documented historical use is sparse, appearing mainly in modern records as a creative spelling or Anglicized byname; the surname of noted Hindi novelist Rangeya Raghava reinforces the Indo-Aryan resonance. Variants and relatives include Rangy, Rangee, Rangi, Ranga, Ranger, Rangeley, and Rangel, with nicknames such as Ray, Ren, or Gee.
