History & Origin

Raejean is a made compound, welding Rae (a pet form of Rachel) to Jean (a Scottish and French form of Jane). The pattern was popular in mid-century America, when parents liked the rhythm of a two-part first name that still felt informal. Its meaning is inherited from its parts: the 'ewe' of Rachel and the 'God is gracious' of Jane.

The name never caught on widely, given to only about twenty girls a year around its high point in 1966, and it faded through the century's end. A woman named Raejean then is in her late fifties today.

Did you know? Raejean belongs to a wave of mid-century compound girls' names, like Bettyjean and Maryjean, where two short favorites were run together into a single first name.
