Name Meaning
Scottish (Angus and Perthshire): habitational name from Rattray (Perthshire) and perhaps sometimes Rattray in Crimond (Aberdeenshire). The placename perhaps derives from a British cognate of Gaelic ràth ‘fortress’ + a cognate of Welsh tref ‘settlement’, but persistent early -e- in the first syllable suggests otherwise.
