Ravyn Origin and Meaning

The name Ravyn is a girl's name.

Ravyn is a modern feminine variant of Raven, derived from the bird name. This alternative spelling with 'y' instead of 'e' adds a distinctive touch while maintaining the original's mystical qualities. Ravens have symbolized wisdom, mystery, and prophecy across many cultures, giving the name a somewhat Gothic and elegant appeal. While never reaching mainstream popularity, Ravyn began gaining modest usage in the United States during the 1990s as part of the trend toward nature-inspired names with creative spellings. The name conveys strength, intelligence, and a slightly unconventional spirit. Though less common than Raven, it provides a unique option for parents seeking a name with natural symbolism and a touch of mystery.
