Ramin

Meaning of Ramin

Ramin, pronounced rah-MEEN (/rɑˈmin/), is a masculine given name of Persian origin whose etymological roots trace to the Middle Persian rāmēn, literally conveying notions of “joyous” or “delightful”; it is immortalized in classical Persian literature—most notably the Sassanian romance Vis and Ramin—and has long signified a refined emotional sensibility within that cultural lineage. In United States naming records, where the name first appeared in 1963 with five registered births (ranked 654th), its annual occurrence has since fluctuated modestly—attaining peaks of twenty-three newborns in both 1987 (694th) and 2013 (867th)—before settling in recent years between five and twelve instances per annum, corresponding to rankings roughly between 906th and 924th. This stable yet low‐frequency pattern suggests a deliberate, niche adoption by American parents seeking a name that marries cosmopolitan distinction with measured divergence from predominant Anglo-American conventions.
