Ramer is in Origin.

Ramer is a rare given name with roots in Germanic onomastics, most often arising from the medieval personal name Reinmar/Reimar, later a surname. It combines Old High German ragin “counsel, advice” and mari “famous,” yielding the sense “renowned for counsel” or “famous advisor.” In some families the form reflects Anglicized spellings like Raymer or Reimer, including Ashkenazic lines where the underlying medieval name entered Jewish use in German-speaking lands.

While chiefly a surname in records from Germany and Switzerland, Ramer has sporadically been adopted as a first name in North America since the late 20th century, fitting the broader surname-as-given-name trend. Historical echoes include the celebrated Minnesänger Reinmar von Hagenau (12th–13th century), which anchors the name’s literary pedigree. Variants and related forms include Raymer, Reimer, Reimar, Reinmar, and Raimar; very rare feminines such as Reimara/Raimara also occur. Possible short forms are Ray, Rem, or Rame.
