Rains Origin and Meaning

The name Rains is a boy's name.

Rains is an uncommon masculine name derived from a surname that originally referred to someone who lived in a rainy region or near a boundary (from the Old English 'rein' meaning 'boundary'). As a first name, it carries natural imagery of precipitation and renewal, connecting its bearer to the elements. The name has a contemporary, nature-inspired quality that appeals to parents seeking something distinctive yet simple. While rare as a first name, Rains has gained some modest attention in recent years alongside other weather and nature-themed names. Its short, crisp sound and meaningful associations with cleansing and nourishment give it an understated strength.
