Raybourne is a rare given name derived from a British surname, most closely linked to the Scottish-English toponym Raeburn/Rayburn. It combines Scots rae, ‘roe deer’ (cognate with Old English rá), with burn/bourne, ‘stream, brook’ (from Old English burna). The sense is “roe-deer stream” or “dweller by the brook where roe deer are found,” a landscape-based identifier that later migrated into use as a first name.

As a surname it is well attested in Lowland Scotland and northern England, later traveling to North America; related spellings appear in notable bearers such as statesman Sam Rayburn and portraitist Sir Henry Raeburn. As a given name, Raybourne surfaces in 20th‑century records in the U.S. and U.K., usually masculine but plausibly unisex. Variants include Rayburn, Raybourn, Raeburn, Raburn, Rayborn, and Reburn. Meaning: “roe-deer brook; one who lives by the deer stream.”
