What is the meaning of the name Ramazan ?

The baby name Ramazan is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced rah-mah-ZAHN (common English respelling); IPA: /ra.maˈzan/.

Ramazan is Arabic in Origin.

Ramazan is the Turkish and broader Turkic/Balkan form of Arabic Ramadan, name of the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The Arabic root r-m-d conveys "scorching heat" or "parchedness," a reference to the month's pre-Islamic occurrence in hot seasons and, by extension, to the spiritual "burning away" of sins. Through Persian and Ottoman usage, the Arabic letter dad was realized as z, yielding Ramazan; the form spread across Ottoman lands and into Central Asia.

Used as a masculine given name, Ramazan is often chosen for boys born during the fasting month and appears in Turkish, Azerbaijani, Bosnian, Albanian, and Kazakh communities. Variants include Ramadan (Arabic/English), Ramzan (South Asian and North Caucasian), Ramadhan/Ramadhon (Indonesian/Malay), and Ramezan (Persian transliteration). Diminutives such as Ramo or Rama occur regionally. The name carries associations of devotion, restraint, renewal, and community.
