Reybourn is English in Origin.

Reybourn is a rare English-Scottish surname turned given name, pronounced RAY-burn or RAY-borne. It traces to the Scots place-name Raeburn in Dumfriesshire, built from rae “roe deer” + burn/bourn “stream,” thus meaning “roe-deer brook.” The -bourn spelling reflects Middle English bourn(e) “stream/boundary,” parallel to Scots burn.

As a family name it appears in medieval records across the Borders; the celebrated portraitist Sir Henry Raeburn (1756–1823) keeps the root visible. As a given name, Reybourn fits the modern Anglophone habit of adopting surnames, remaining uncommon and comfortably unisex. Close variants include Raeburn, Rayburn, Reyburn, Raybourn, Raburn, Raybourne, and Wrayburn; related forms Rayborn and Reburn also occur. Short forms Rey/Ray are natural, while Bea or Bo are occasional. Parents drawn to nature-linked meanings and understated heritage often choose Reybourn for its quietly rugged imagery.
