About the name
Ryatt has no documented literal meaning. It is a modern coinage or respelling that closely resembles the established name Wyatt, but no source consulted here documents an actual etymological relationship between the two - the resemblance should not be read as a confirmed derivation.
Style through life
Reads as a modern, casual-register name for an adult man; as a recent respelling with no inherited history, it carries no dated associations but also none of the professional-register familiarity that an established name like Wyatt has. Phonetically simple and easy for a child to say; visually and audibly close enough to Wyatt that classmates, teachers, and records may default to reading or transcribing it as the more familiar spelling.
Regional and cultural use
Ryatt belongs to a modern pattern of "Wy-"-to-"Ry-" consonant-swapped respellings of established names, similar to how Kason echoes Cason or Brycen echoes Bryson; no source documents an independent tradition behind the Ryatt spelling itself.
Worth knowing
The initial "Ry-" in place of the established "Wy-" of Wyatt is the only structural difference, making the two names easy to visually and phonetically conflate despite Ryatt having no documented independent etymology of its own.
Bottom line
Ryatt is workable on its own, with one trade-off worth testing before you settle on it. A useful final check is simple: let a fresh reader see the name once, without coaching, and listen to the first pronunciation.
