How do you say "Ryan" in Spanish?

Question

• My spanish professor (who is from mexico) says that ryan is "raymundo" (pronounced "ry-moon-doe") - Ryan-I-am Dec 14, 2011

Answer 1

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Most names don't change when spoken in a foreign language. I'd say Ryan is simply Ryan in español.

Answer 2

Ryan is Ryan. It's a proper name that doesn't have a Spanish equivalent. If you mean how do you pronounce it, well... like you would in English since it is your name.

Answer 4

There are virtually no names of Gaelic origin in Spanish (or, at least, not in the past), so you can't translate it, like you can do with a Hebrew name like James or a Latin one like Paul.

Answer 5

I had a friend named Ryan who went by Ri (Ree) in Mexico just because its easier for the kids to say, but as people have said, I am not aware of any spanish equivalent.
