it looks really funny that people have devised their own concepts and floated them. Most of them are themselves raina's and god knows from where they devised that Raina's are the same as Reen or Razdan. most of them do not know why they carry the caste Raina behind their names and boastfully tell their cooked up story.
Rainas are direct descendants to Sage Agastya also termed as muni Agastyar (In Tamil Nadu). He was the first Siddha ever born. The family that started from him was the Raina's because it all started from Raina Baadi a place in kashmir. The surname is nothing but name of place from where the Raina family started.

RAINA is a surname and its not sure whether RAINA is derived from Razdan or Razdan is derived from RAINA. Many believe that it basically depend on "Gautras". People say Raina's were administrator Brahmins. As the whole region was a Brahmin Hindu Region so Administrators were required thats why the term "RAZ" which in Kashmiri means Ruler (kind of) there came the word Razdan.and Razdan and Raina are one and the same thing, they just used different surnames, but family tree is same. Gautras like "SWAMI GAUTAM" etc is few.

Raina's were mainly kashmiri brahmins whose ancestors had Rajdan as a surname. Concrete evidences as to why & where from this surname came is not known.
