Rayne is a modern spelling of the English word name Rain, so it means "rain", though it is also linked to the French reine, "queen", and to the Old French Raine. The y gives the nature word a more deliberate, name-like look, in the manner of Jayde and Skye. Rayne entered the US top 1000 in 2016, peaked at number 736 in 2019 and ranks 906th in 2025.
