Rayhaneh is Persian in Origin.
Rayhaneh (Persian: ریحانه; Arabic: ريحانة) is a feminine name of Arabic-Persian origin meaning “sweet basil,” “fragrant herb,” or more broadly “a sprig of aromatic greenery.” It derives from Arabic rayḥānah, from rayḥān, a Qur’anic term linked with pleasant scent, mercy, and the gardens of Paradise, giving the name a gentle, auspicious feel across Islamic cultures.
The name has been used since early Islam; a notable bearer is Rayhana bint Zayd, associated with the Prophet Muhammad’s household. Rayhaneh remains popular in Iran (commonly Reyhaneh/Reyhane) and appears across the Maghreb and Levant, while related forms occur in Turkey as Reyhan (also used for boys) and in South Asia as Raihanah. Common variants and transliterations include Rayhana, Reyhaneh, Reyhana, Rihaneh, Rihana, Rayhane, and the anglicized Rihanna. All forms preserve the core sense of fragrant grace and paradisal blessing.
