History & Origin
Raiquan is a modern coinage that joins a Rai- front, echoing the sounds of Ray and Rai, with the popular -quan ending of Daquan and Raequan. Names of this pattern were prized in the nineteen-nineties for their crisp, rhythmic sound, and Raiquan is a distinctive spelling within that group rather than a borrowing from an older tradition.
Raiquan was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at its faint peak in the mid-nineteen-nineties. A boy named Raiquan then is about thirty today.
