What is the meaning of the name Ramir ?

The baby name Ramir is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish: ra-MEER (/raˈmiɾ/),English: RA-mir (/ˈræmɪr/).

Ramir is Germanic in Origin.

Ramir is the Catalan and Occitan form of Ramiro, an Iberian name of Germanic (Visigothic) origin built from ragin "counsel, decision" and mari "famous, renowned." The sense is "renowned counsel" or "famous for wise advice." Carried into Hispania by the Visigoths, the name took deep root across medieval Christian kingdoms and remained in use in courtly and ecclesiastical circles.

Bearers include Ramiro I of Asturias, Ramiro II of Leon, and Ramiro I of Aragon, which bolstered its prestige. Today Ramir is rarer than Ramiro, but it persists in Catalan-speaking areas and appears internationally, especially in Spain, Latin America, and the Philippines, as a streamlined modern choice. Variants and cognates: Ramiro (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian), Ramir (Catalan, Occitan), feminine Ramira; related patronymic Ramirez. Common short forms include Rami and Miro.
