Ramage Name Meaning
Scottish: nickname for a savage or unpredictable individual,
from Middle English, Old French rammage ‘wild’ (applied to a
bird of prey), Late Latin ramaticus, from ramus
‘branch’. Compare Savage.French: from a derivative
of Old French ramu ‘branch’, with the sense ‘forest’, hence a
topographic name for someone who lived by a forest. The term
ramage also had a legal sense, denoting the right to cut
branches within a manorial forest, and in some cases the surname may
have arisen from a nickname for someone who had this feudal right.
