what is the origin/meaning of the surname RAY?
I have been unable to find much about this name. I have searched not only my spelling but several other common spellings (Rey, Rae, Rhea).

Ray seems to be fairly common here in Texas but nobody has been able to tell me much about it other than it might be German or Alsatian.

Can anybody help?

Thanks
