Ramm Family History
Ramm Name Meaning
German and English: from Middle High German ram, Middle
English ram(m) ‘ram’, ‘male sheep’, hence a nickname for a
forceful or lusty individual (in the case of the English name, perhaps
in part representing a continued use of an Old English byname). It may
also occasionally have been a metonymic occupational name for a
shepherd, or a habitational name for someone who lived at a house
distinguished by the sign of a ram. The German term also denotes a
pile-driver or battering ram, and the surname may have arisen as an
occupational name for someone who operated either of these.German: habitational name from either of two places named Ramm, in
Westphalia and Mecklenburg.Jewish: variant spelling of
Ram.
