Raynah is in Origin.
Raynah is a modern, ornamented spelling of Rayna, a cross-cultural name with several overlapping roots. In Spanish, Reina comes from Latin regina, "queen." In the Slavic Balkans, Raina/Rayna is associated with ray meaning "paradise, heaven." Yiddish Reyna derives from reyn, "pure," and the name is also sometimes linked to Hebrew Rina, "joy; song." The terminal -h in Raynah echoes Hebrew spellings and lends a soft, contemporary finish.
Its base forms have long histories, though Raynah itself is recent in English-speaking countries, appearing mainly from the late 20th century. The Bulgarian national figure Rayna Knyaginya (19th c.) boosted the Slavic form, while Reina has been used in Spanish devotion as an epithet of Mary. Variants and relatives include Rayna, Raina, Reina, Reyna, Raena, and Rina; longer forms such as Rayanna and Regina sit nearby. Possible nicknames are Ray and Nay.
