Ramir is a short form of Ramiro, a Spanish and Portuguese name of Visigothic origin that is usually explained as "famous counsel" or "wise and famous", from the Germanic ragin, counsel, and mers, famous. For some American families it is also a blend of Ramon and Amir. Ramir remains rare in the United States but is moving up: from number 4031 in 2000 and number 2849 in 2015 to number 1707 in 2025, its best rank so far.
