Origin
Meaning and history of Rayvion
The given name Rayvion is a relatively modern invention, with no clear origins from a particular language or cultural tradition. It appears to be a combination of the common English name "Ray" and the suffix "-vion," which is not found in any established naming conventions.
Despite its recent emergence, the name Rayvion has gained some popularity in certain regions, particularly in parts of the United States. However, there are no recorded instances of this name being used historically or appearing in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or notable historical records.
While it is difficult to pinpoint the earliest recorded use of the name Rayvion, it is safe to assume that it did not come into existence until the latter half of the 20th century or later. As it is a relatively uncommon name, there are few notable individuals who have borne this name throughout history.
One of the earliest individuals with the first name Rayvion is Rayvion Cunningham, an American football player who attended the University of Colorado in the early 2000s. Another individual with this name is Rayvion Faulkner, an American basketball player who played for the University of North Texas in the late 2010s.
Beyond these examples, it is challenging to find other notable figures throughout history who have carried the name Rayvion. This is likely due to the name's modern origins and limited usage.
It is worth noting that the lack of historical or cultural significance associated with the name Rayvion does not diminish its value or meaning for those who bear it. Names, regardless of their origins, can hold deep personal significance and contribute to one's identity and sense of self.

FAQ
Rayvion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Rayvion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 86 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Rayvion going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 3,985,516 US residents.
Is Rayvion a common name?
We classify Rayvion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 62.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 87 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Rayvion most popular?
The single biggest year for Rayvion was 2007, when 11 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Rayvion is about 16 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Rayvion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Rayvion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Rayvion in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Rayvion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Rayvion in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Rayvion can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
