This is an interesting medieval locational name of English and Scots origin, from places so called in Gloucestershire, Berwick, and Aberdeen. The derivation is from the Olde English pre 7th Century hunta, a hunter, and leah, a wood or clearing in a wood.
In some cases it may be from a personal name derived from this element, taken over into Middle English from the Old Norse byname Hrafn; an example of this is one, Rauen de Engelbi recorded in the 1185 Pipe Rolls of Yorkshire. It is also present in placenames such as Ravenscroft and Rawnsley. In England, a few early forms such as William atte Raven (London, 1344) suggest that it may also be partly derived from a house-sign or an inn-sign. Other variant spellings of the name include, Reven, Revance, Rivance, Revens, Revans and Ravens.
