Rayan (Persian: رایان, romanized: rāyān; Arabic: ريّان or ريان, romanized: rayyān), also spelt Rayyan, Rayyaan, Rayaan, Raian, Rayen, or Ryan is generally a male given name of Persian origin (and later) a male and female given name of Islamic/Arabic origin,[1] meaning "luxuriant," "well-watered" or "satiated" in Arabic, while meaning "smart", "wise" or "thinker" in the Persian language.[2][3]

In the later Islamic tradition, it is the name of one of the gates of Jannah, Al-Rayyan, through which only those who fast a lot would enter on the Day of Resurrection.[4][5][6]
