Raffarty Origin and Meaning

The name Raffarty is a boy's name.

Raffarty is an uncommon masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Rafferty, which has Irish Gaelic origins. The traditional Rafferty derives from 'Ó Raifeartaigh,' meaning 'descendant of Raifeartach' (one who possesses prosperity). This altered spelling with the doubled 'f' is exceedingly rare. The traditional Rafferty has seen modest usage in Ireland and some English-speaking countries, appreciated for its lively, upbeat sound and Irish heritage. Raffarty maintains the energetic, playful quality of Rafferty with its bouncy rhythm and cheerful tone. The name projects a friendly, spirited character and might appeal to parents seeking an Irish-inspired name with a slightly modified spelling to make it more distinctive.
