Ramaz is Georgian in Origin.

Ramaz is a Georgian masculine given name whose roots are generally linked to the Persian/Arabic word ramz, “symbol” or “secret,” by way of long-standing cultural contact in the Caucasus. The implied meaning is “sign,” “allusion,” or “one who hints.” The name appears in Georgian records from the early modern era and has remained in steady use into the present, carried by figures such as the celebrated actor Ramaz Chkhikvadze and footballer Ramaz Shengelia, which helped keep it familiar across the Georgian-speaking world.

Variant and related forms include Ramazi (a Georgian elaboration), Ramiz (common in Azerbaijani, Turkish, Bosnian, and Albanian contexts), and Ramez (an Arabic transliteration). While sometimes mistaken as connected to the month of Ramadan, Ramaz follows the ramz/ramiz line of derivation. It offers a succinct, traditionally Georgian sound while reflecting the region’s Persianate and Arabic linguistic layers.
