Ramel

__NOTOC__ Ramel is a masculine given name of multicultural origin. In Syriac (Sureth/Assyrian Neo-Aramaic), the name is traditionally interpreted to mean “God is exalted”, derived from the root rām (to be high, exalted) and El (God). The name appears in modern Assyrian communities as a personal name. In French, Ramel is primarily encountered as a surname, originating from regional toponyms in southern France. It is believed to derive from Old Occitan elements related to “branch,” “twig,” or “vine shoot” (ramel or rameta), indicating a family that lived near or worked with woodland or vineyards. In German, Ramel is also used as a surname, often considered a variant of names related to “Ramm” or “Ramelow,” which trace back to Middle High German terms meaning “raven” (ram), or to occupational and place-based names. The German usage is largely hereditary and not etymologically connected to the Syriac form.
