Ravyn is English in Origin.

Ravyn is a modern, stylized spelling of Raven, the English word-name for the black corvid. Its roots lie in Old English hræfn and Old Norse hrafn, from Proto-Germanic hrabnaz, with relatives like German Rabe and Dutch raaf. The bird has long symbolized intelligence, mystery, and prophecy: Odin’s companions Huginn and Muninn in Norse myth, the culture hero and trickster in Northwest Coast Indigenous traditions, and omens of battle in Celtic lore all center the raven.

Used as a given name since the late 19th century but rising strongly in the United States from the 1970s, Raven fits the modern nature-name trend and saw broader visibility in the 1990s via pop culture and alternative aesthetics. Ravyn emerged in the same era as a creative -y- variant. It remains unisex but skews feminine in recent data. Variants and related forms include Raven, Rayven, Raevyn, Ravynn; cognates include Icelandic Hrafn and Welsh Bran.
