“Easy American warmth with deep French roots”

Origin & Etymology

Ramey functions as an anglicized variant of Remy, a French name derived from the Latin Remigius—the name of Saint Remigius (Saint Rémi), the bishop who baptized Clovis I, the first Christian king of France, in 496 AD. Remigius itself may derive from Latin 'remigis' (oarsman) or possibly from a Germanic root meaning 'counsel-power.' The spelling Ramey gives the name a distinctly American, approachable quality while honoring this significant French religious heritage.
