Rayvon Origin and Meaning

The name Rayvon is a boy's name.

Rayvon appears to be a modern constructed name that likely combines the element 'Ray' (which could derive from Raymond, meaning 'wise protector,' or represent 'ray' as in a beam of light) with the suffix '-von' (possibly influenced by names like Devon or Javon). The name has limited documented historical usage before the late 20th century. Rayvon gained some recognition through Jamaican reggae artist Rayvon (Bruce Brewster) who rose to prominence in the 1990s with hits like 'No Guns, No Murder.' The name has been used in various communities in the United States but remains relatively uncommon. Without extensive historical documentation, it's difficult to establish a specific cultural or linguistic tradition from which this name primarily derives. Rayvon exemplifies contemporary naming patterns that favor distinctive sounds and combinations of familiar elements.
