Question:

We are expecting a baby and decided to give him a name "Rayyan". Please tell me if it is a boy's name or girl's name?
Thanks.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Rayyan in Arabic is the opposite of thirsty, meaning that it is a person who drank and quenched his thirst. A male would be given the name Rayyan, and a female is named Rayya. Rayyan is also a name of one of the doors of paradise. May Allah make us among those who will enter it.

Allah knows best.
