Ramon
Boy name · 9 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Ramon: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1975.
Spanish and Catalan in origin, Ramon is a form of Raymond, from the Germanic *Raginmund* meaning 'wise protector' or 'advice-guardian.' The name found early prominence in Spain and the Americas, notably borne by Filipino revolutionary leader **Ramon Magsaysay**, who served as the country's seventh president, and the celebrated Mexican painter **Rufino Tamayo** (born as Rufino del Carmen Arellanes Tamayo, though Ramon is a common given name in his family). A less expected share of the name's root appears in the Scottish town of **Rothesay** on the Isle of Bute — 'Rother' derives from the same Germanic element *ragin* meaning 'advice.' The variant **Ramón** with an accent is far more common in Spanish-speaking countries, though the unaccented version appears in Catalan and occasionally in Scotland, often linked to Latin American or Anglo-Hispanic heritage.
