Reyshawn is an African American boy's name with unclear origins but believed to have emerged in the US during the late 20th century. Its meaning is disputed, possibly derived from Welsh 'Reese' meaning "ardor" or a blend of popular African American names Ray and Shawn. Despite its uncertain beginnings, Reyshawn gained popularity in recent decades, peaking in 2015 at #836 on the US baby boy names list.
