History & Origin
Raybon is a transferred English surname, a phonetic reshaping of Rayburn or Raybourn, from Old English ra, roe deer, and burna, a stream. Like many such names it moved from family name to given name in America, favored by families who liked its plain, sturdy, countryside sound for a boy.
Raybon was always uncommon, given to only about twenty boys a year at its faint peak in the late nineteen-thirties and fading by mid-century. A boy named Raybon then would be nearing his nineties or gone today.
