About Rijn
With the strong, succinct sound of Reign, Rein, Rain, and Rayne, Rijn is a Dutch name, used as both a stand-alone name and as a nickname. While it may look unfamiliar to English eyes, names ending in -ijn are familiar in The Netherlands.
Rijn may be considered a short form of the popular Marijn, a Dutch variation of Marinus or Marius, meaning "of the sea" or "of Mars, warrior, male" from Latin. Alternatively, it may be an alternative spelling to the Germanic Rein, meaning "advice, counsel, decision".
Additionally, Rijn has a nature and place connection: it is the Dutch name for the River Rhine.
Pronounced RAIN.
