Ramon is the Spanish form of Raymond, from the Germanic ragin, "counsel", and mund, "protection", so it means "protecting counsel" or "wise protector". Saint Ramon Nonato, patron of expectant mothers, and the philosopher Ramon Llull made it a classic in Spain and Latin America, and it has long been established among Hispanic families in the United States. Ramon was number 321 in 2000 and ranks number 852 among boys in 2025.
