Rysen is English in Origin.

Rysen is a modern English given name, likely a respelling of the surname-based Ryson/Rison and influenced by the vogue for Ry- names (Ryan, Ryder, Rylan) and the Scandinavian/Dutch patronymic ending -sen “son (of).” Depending on the root you prefer, it can be read as “son of Rhys” (with Rhys meaning “ardor, enthusiasm” in Welsh) or “son of Rye,” from Old English ryge “rye,” evoking grain fields and harvest. Contemporary parents also sometimes hear an aspirational sense from the verb rise, though that is a folk etymology.

Usage is recent, with occasional appearances in North America and the UK from the late twentieth century onward; it remains uncommon and leans masculine but is essentially unisex. Variants and related forms include Ryson, Rison, Rizen, Ryzen, Rycen, Rysyn, and the roots Rhys/Reese and Rye. Short forms: Ry/Rye, Rys.
