The Meaning of the Name "Raeanna"

Someone asked on Wiki Answers what Raeanna meant?  The following is the answer given.  I like it.
"Rae means 'grace', though some will tell you it is a shortened form of either Rachael (meaning ewe, female sheep) or Raymond (meaning protector, wise protector, protecting hands, warrior etc.). Rae itself is Scottish, whereas Rachael is of course Hebrew and Raymond is German or Old Teutonic. It MIGHT have had something to do with living by a stream, a source of water, while living on dry fertile land, (like a blessing or an observation of good fortune).


Anna also means 'grace', and is claimed to be from many languages, but probably started off Hebrew.

So basically the meaning of the name Rae Anna is grace. The only thing to keep in mind is that Hebrew is a much 'deeper' language than English. The words have a lot more authority or depth of meaning. In Hebrew there are two types of grace. One word for grace in Hebrew is "rachamim". It also means "mercy". Another word for "grace" in Hebrew is "chein". It also means "beauty" or "favor".

So this name is about beauty, favor, mercy, grace and possibly about being a wise protector or someone who helps others.

It's a very good name.

Names tend to impact who people become, because it's being spoken over them all the time, and they pick up those traits. These would be very good traits."
