Rayburne is English, Scottish in Origin.

Rayburne is a surname-derived given name of Scots-English origin, a spelling elaboration of Rayburn and Raeburn. It descends from the Scots elements rae, meaning "roe deer," and burn, "stream" or "brook," yielding the sense "roe-deer stream" or "brook frequented by deer." As with many habitational surnames, it likely denoted someone who lived near such a watercourse before transitioning into use as a first name.

Recorded as a masculine given name in the United States from the late 19th century, Rayburn(e) saw modest mid-20th-century use, paralleling the broader trend of surnames as first names and perhaps buoyed by the prominence of Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn (as a namesake). Notable bearers include jazz educator Rayburn Wright. The name remains rare today and can read vintage. Variants and related forms include Raeburn, Rayburn, Raybourne, Rayborn, Raburn, and Reyburn; Ray is the common short form, with Burnie as an occasional nickname.
