Rameen

Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Rameen: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2007.

Of Persian origin, Rameen is primarily a masculine name meaning "peaceful" or "blessed," derived from the Old Persian *Rāma*, a root shared with the name Ramin. Its most famous bearer is Rameen Parray, a contemporary Punjabi singer and songwriter who rose to prominence in the 2010s. The name also appears in Persian mythology, linked to the tragic romance of *Vis and Rāmin*, a classical tale that bears comparison to Tristan and Isolde. While no major Western place name shares this root, the city of Ramen in Iran echoes a similar etymology. A variant to note is Raman, which is also common in South Asian communities, though Rameen remains the more lyrical and less common choice.
