Tramain is English in Origin.

Tramain is a modern American given name most often interpreted as a phonetic variant of Tramaine/Tremaine. In that line it traces back to the Cornish place-name Tremaine, from tre "homestead, settlement" + maen "stone," yielding the sense "stone settlement." The form may also be influenced by Jermaine (from French Germain < Latin Germanus), which carries the meaning "brother; of the same kin." As such, Tramain blends two attractive semantic threads: solidity and kinship. Use is documented chiefly in the United States from the late 20th century, with particular visibility in African American communities, where elaborated -maine names rose alongside figures like Jermaine Jackson and gospel singer Tramaine Hawkins. The name skews masculine but is occasionally unisex. Variants and related forms include Tramaine, Tremaine, Tremain, Tremayne, Tre'Maine/Tra'Maine, Traymaine, and Jermaine; short forms such as Tra or Maine are also encountered.
