Raebourn Origin and Meaning

The name Raebourn is a boy's name.

Raebourn is an uncommon masculine name with likely Anglo-Saxon or Scottish origins. It appears to be a compound name possibly derived from 'Rae' (a variant of Ray, meaning 'counsel' or referring to a deer) and 'bourn' (a stream or boundary). This distinctive name has an aristocratic, surname-like quality that evokes the English countryside and landed estates. Raebourn remains exceptionally rare in contemporary usage, making it an unconventional choice for parents seeking uniqueness. The name carries a sophisticated, literary feel with its nature-based etymology and flowing pronunciation. Its scarcity means most Raebourns would likely have ancestral connections to the name through family surnames.
