What is the meaning of the name Ramon ?

The baby name Ramon is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish: ra-MÓN (IPA: /raˈmon/); English: RAY-mən (IPA: /ˈreɪmən/).

Ramon is Spanish in Origin.

Ramon is the Spanish and Catalan form of Raymond, derived from the Germanic elements ragin “counsel” and mund “protector,” giving the sense of “wise protector” or “protector of counsel.” In Spanish it is often written Ramón, while Catalan typically uses Ramon; both have been common across Iberia since the Middle Ages, especially through the noble house of Barcelona and the troubadour tradition.

Usage was reinforced by devotion to St. Raymond of Peñafort and St. Raymond Nonnatus, and the name later spread throughout Latin America and the Philippines; in the United States it has long signaled Hispanic heritage. Variant and related forms include Ramón, Raimon (Catalan/Occitan), Raimundo (Spanish/Portuguese), Raymond and Ray (English/French), Raimond and Reimund (Germanic), Raimondo (Italian), and Rajmund (Slavic). The feminine counterpart is Ramona. Nicknames include Moncho, Mon, and, by association with Raymond, Ray.
