Meaning and origin of Reyan
Reyan is another way of writing Rayan, or Rayyan, with an 'e' in the first syllable that mirrors how Turks, Kurds and many South Asians pronounce it. It comes from an Arabic root about quenching thirst and being well supplied with water, so the name describes someone whose thirst has been satisfied. It also calls to mind al-Rayyan, the gate of Paradise that hadith reserve for people who fasted. The 'little king' meaning found on some websites belongs to different names entirely.
