Raydon is English in Origin.
Raydon is a modern English given name, most likely a blend of Ray (pet form of Raymond, from Germanic ragin + mund, "counsel, protection") with the -don ending found in English surnames and place-names (from Old English dun, "hill"). As such, it can be read either as "Ray’s hill" in a surname-style formation or as "wise protector" by association with Raymond. It is occasionally conflated with Raiden (Japanese "thunder and lightning"), but Raydon is etymologically separate.
As a given name, it is rare before the late 20th century and rises with the -ayden/-don naming wave in the 1990s-2000s in North America and Australasia. Variants and spellings include Rayden, Raedon, Raidon, Reydon, and Reyden; related forms: Braydon, Jaydon, and Hayden. Nicknames: Ray, Don. Surname/place-name ties include the English village Reydon/Raydon.
