First of all, the name is nArAYaNa, with A being long (like in English car) and a being a schwa (like the first sound in English about). But, in that nA- is not a prefix, it comes from nR/nara, and means son of man. I can't find raYAna or raYANa in Sanskrit. rAYAna appears as a name of the husband of rAdhA (kRSNa's main love interest) in late literature, but I do not know it as a name of viSNu.

I have not seen the word raYaAMsha in Sanskrit. I do not know why raYa (which basically means speed) would mean viSNu.

Where in the bhagavadgItA did you find Sreyan meaning viSNu?
