What is the meaning of the name Ramin ?

The baby name Ramin is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Persian: /rɒːˈmiːn/ (rah-MEEN); English: /ˈrɑːmɪn/ (RAH-min).

Ramin is Persian in Origin.

Ramin is a Persian given name with deep Iranian roots. It goes back to Middle Persian Rāmin, ultimately related to the Avestan rāman- “joy, rest, peace,” and the Old Iranian divine figure Rāman, so the name carries senses such as “joyful,” “bringing peace,” or “comforting.” The hero Rāmin in the famed 11th‑century Persian love epic Vis o Rāmin (itself reflecting an older Parthian tale) helped establish the name’s literary prestige.

Used across Iran and neighboring regions (Azerbaijan, Kurdish areas, Tajikistan, the Caucasus) and in the diaspora, Ramin remains familiar through bearers like composer Ramin Djawadi and actor Ramin Karimloo. Variants and spellings include Raamin, Rameen (common in Urdu), and the feminine Ramina; Armenian and Cyrillic forms appear in local scripts. Do not confuse it with the unrelated Sanskrit name Raman/Ramanan, despite the similar look.
