Raamah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Raamah

What is the meaning of the name Raamah ?

The baby name Raamah is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced rah-AH-mah (approx. Hebrew: ra-ʿa-mah).

Raamah is Hebrew in Origin.

Raamah is a rare biblical name from Hebrew Raʿmah, built on the Semitic root r-ʿ-m meaning "to thunder, to roar." It appears in Genesis 10:7 as a son of Cush and ancestor of Sheba and Dedan, and in Ezekiel 27:22 as a trading partner of Tyre, likely referencing a people or region in southwest Arabia. The sense evokes a "roaring" or "thunderclap," sometimes glossed as "trembling," reflecting the root's association with rumbling power.

In modern naming, Raamah remains uncommon in English-speaking countries but suits parents seeking an underused scriptural or Afro-Asiatic heritage choice. Traditional usage is masculine, though the -ah ending can make it feel unisex today. Variant transliterations include Raama, Raʿmah, and Ra'ama. Closely spelled Ramah ("height") is a different Hebrew name, and the Indian names Rama (Sanskrit Rāma) are unrelated despite similar appearance.
