What is the meaning of the name Ramiro ?

The baby name Ramiro is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish: [raˈmiɾo] (ra-MEE-roh); English approximation: /rəˈmiːroʊ/ (ruh-MEE-roh).

Ramiro is Spanish in Origin.

Ramiro is the Spanish and Portuguese form of a Visigothic-Germanic name, Latinized as Ranimirus/Ramirus, built from ragin “counsel, decision” + māri “famous, renowned.” Its core meaning is “renowned for counsel” or “famous advisor.” The patronymic Ramírez (“son of Ramiro”) preserves the same root, and a feminine Ramira exists in Iberian usage. Short forms include Rami and Miro.

Medieval Iberia made the name prominent: kings Ramiro I of Asturias (9th c.), Ramiro II of León (10th c.), and Ramiro I and II of Aragon (11th–12th c.) anchored it in royal and ecclesiastical circles during the Reconquista. The form Ramiro remains standard in Spanish, Portuguese, and Galician, with occasional use in Italian and across Latin America as well. It has enjoyed steady, if modest, popularity in Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and the Southern Cone, valued for its traditional Iberian flair and dignified meaning.
