The meaning of Rayden is unknown. Its origin is  Modern English . This name is mostly being used as a boys name. Last year it ranked 747th in the U.S. Social Security Administration list of most popular baby boy names.
Yes and No. MacLysaght says Ray is an English name same as Roy derived from Roi the French for King. But the surnames Reavey, Rea and Wray were sometimes corrupted to Ray. Rea is pronounced Ray in Ireland and derives from the Irish MacCrea, Reavey comes from the Irish MacRiabhaigh (grey haired) anglicised to MacGreevey. So you can safely claim to be Irish with a corrupted surname. Mick. February 28, 2008 05:02PM.
