The story behind the name
Ryan is a classic Irish last name that has become a popular first name for both boys and girls. Ryan comes from the Gaelic words righ and an, which together mean "little king." It's also derived from the Irish surname O'Riain. Ryan was initially used mostly for baby boys but has become increasingly popular for girls as well.
Although many baby names are separated by gender, Verywell Family believes that sex does not need to play a role in your name selection process. It’s important to select a name that you feel suits your new baby the best.
