Raffie, of Hebrew origin, means "my song" and is often used as a nickname for Rafael or Raphael. It's a unique, modern choice that maintains the musical connection found in its longer forms. In English-speaking countries, Raffie has gained popularity due to its short, catchy sound and ease of pronunciation. It's not yet one of the top 1000 names for boys in the United States but is steadily growing in usage, reflecting a trend towards unique and personalized baby names.
"Raffie saw a steady increase in popularity between 1916 and 1924, with peak years being 1916 and 1918 at six births each, followed by five in 1921 and another peak of six in 1924. Overall, there were twenty-three Raffies born during this period."
