The name Ray is a classic masculine title rooted in Persian tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Ancient city (Tehran)', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Persian regions, Ray has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Ray, also spelled Rayy, was a major city of ancient Iran near modern Tehran, an early center of Islamic scholarship home to figures such as Fakhr al-Din al-Razi.
