"Blend of Rae and Shawn"
The name Raeshawn is commonly a male name from the "American" origin.
Raeshawn is a modern American formation that joins Rae, an established given name, with Shawn, the anglicized spelling of the Irish name Sean. It belongs with a group of twentieth-century American names that attach a Ra- syllable to Shawn, among them Rashawn and Rayshawn. The spelling first appears in United States birth records in 1970.
The pronunciation of Raeshawn is RAY-shawn.
