History & Origin
Raynie is a modern American spelling in the Rainey family. Rainey began as a surname and has long doubled as a nature-adjacent given name; the -ie ending here gives it a warm, pet-name feel. No older tradition backs this exact spelling, so routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'RAY-nee').
It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, warm, and modern.
