Rayyan is a boys name

[Reem Farah]

Hi

I speak Arabic (native) and teach it too so I was surprised to see Rayaan listed as a girls’ name. It’s wrong to name a girl by Rayyan without adding the feminine markers such as taa al taaneeth or a sound at the end. Please correct this error. This name is very popular in Arab countries and it is very important to get it right and avoid confusion. You can check classic Arabic encyclopaedia, poems and dictionaries for details.

Thanks,
