Hrafn is a masculine name of Icelandic origin, meaning "raven" in Old Norse. The raven is a bird that has been associated with various mythologies and cultures throughout history, often symbolizing wisdom, intelligence, and magic. In Norse mythology, the god Odin had two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who would fly around the world and bring back information to him. The name Hrafn has been used in Iceland since the Viking Age and is still a popular name today.
The pronunciation of Hrafn is "HRAV-n" with a silent "n" at the end. The name is composed of two syllables, with the first syllable pronounced with a long "a" sound and the second syllable pronounced with a short "a" sound. The name is relatively easy to pronounce for English speakers, although the silent "n" at the end may be confusing at first.

The name is most commonly found in Iceland, but it may also be used in other Scandinavian countries.
