Origin Displayed: Spanish

Where did the Spanish Rama family come from? What is the Spanish coat of arms/family crest? When did the Rama family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

From the historical and enchanting region of Spain emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Rama family. Originally, the Spanish people were known only by a single name. The process by which hereditary surnames were adopted in Spain is extremely interesting. Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. Often they adopted names that were derived from nicknames. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Ramos, Ramis, Ramo, Rama, Ramas, Rams, Ramón and many more.

First found in Castile, a region of north-central Spain.
