Rayan or Ryan is a popular given name of multiple origins including Arabic, Turkish, and Hindi.
In Arabic, the name Rayyan means "clever," or "brilliant." Although it is often confused with the name Reyhan, it is distinctly different, carrying different meanings. Rayan is a first name given to males and females in the Islamic world, especially among the Arabs. In Arabic and Persian Rayhaan means "sweet scented herb". Rayhaan is found in Surah Rahman, ayah 12; and Surah Waqi'ah, ayah 89. [1] Rayan or Rayyan is also the name to one of Islam's Heaven gates through which only the observers of Ramadan would enter on the Day of Resurrection.[2]
