Reyt is in Origin.

Reyt is a rare modern given name in English, most plausibly drawn from the Northern English dialect word reyt/reight, meaning “right, true, proper” and used as an intensifier (“reyt good”). That dialect term continues Old English riht ‘right, just,’ so the name is often taken to convey uprightness, correctness, or authenticity. As a crisp monosyllable with the fashionable y, Reyt also echoes surname-names like Rhett and Wright, adding secondary associations of “counsel” (via Rhett’s Dutch root raad) and “craftsman, maker” (Wright).

Usage is recent and very uncommon in records, and it functions as a unisex choice in English-speaking countries. Possible variants and near-forms include Reytt, Reit, and Reight; related choices are Rhett, Reid, Wright, and Rey. Nicknames Rey or Ty come naturally. Parents may read its meaning as “right, true; just,” or more colloquially “very, really,” from its dialect source.
