Submitted Name Revision History

Possibly Frisian in origin, in which case the name is probably derived from a feminine Germanic given name that contains one of the following three Germanic elements: ragin meaning "advice" (see RAYNER), rand meaning "rim (of a shield)" (see RANDOLF) or hraban meaning "raven" (see RONNE). Otherwise, this name may be a short form of (combined) given names that end in -ranne, such as FLORANNE and LORANNE.
