About Ry
Musician Ry Cooder brought this short form into the lexicon -- his full name is Ryland -- and it feels more familiar now that more Ry- beginning names such as Ryder and Riley are, ahem, riding up the ranks. The Rye spelling makes it more of a word or a nature name and less of a nickname.
Pronounced RY.
As of October 2026, Ry ranked #10636 in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #3166 in 1977.
