Ramone
Meaning of Ramone
The name Ramone is a masculine given name with deep roots in Spanish and Germanic origins. Pronounced as ruh-MOHN (/rəˈmoʊn/), it is a variant of the name Ramon, which itself is derived from the Old Germanic name Raginmund, meaning "wise protector." Over time, Ramone has also been associated with the English name Raymond. The name gained significant cultural prominence through its association with the iconic punk rock band The Ramones, further embedding it into popular culture. In the United States, while not extremely common, Ramone has seen consistent usage over the decades, reflecting a steady but niche appeal among parents. Notably, its popularity peaked during the late 20th century but continues to be chosen for its distinctive sound and strong historical associations.
