Rayment Origin and Meaning

The name Rayment is a boy's name.

Rayment is a masculine name of English origin that began as a surname before occasionally being adopted as a first name. It derives from the Old German personal name Raimund, combining "ragin" (counsel) and "mund" (protection), thus meaning "wise protector." As a first name, Rayment is exceedingly rare, giving it a distinctive quality. It shares roots with the more common Raymond but has a more antiquated and formal feel. The name has never charted in popularity rankings but might appeal to parents seeking a traditional-sounding yet uncommon name with historical depth. Rayment projects strength and reliability with its solid consonant sounds.
