Ramez

Ramez is a masculine given name of Arabic origin. It is derived from the Arabic word ramz, which means sign, symbol, hint, or omen. As a given name, Ramez often carries connotations of meaning or significance and is used across Arabic-speaking communities and in Muslim populations in the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, and their diasporas.

Variants and transliteration of the name include Ramiz, Ramis, and other spellings such as Ramez or Raméz. The root meaning remains related to signs or symbols, and the different spellings reflect linguistic and regional differences in pronunciation and writing, including Turkish, Persian, Urdu, and Arabic contexts.

Notable bearers of the name include Ramez Galal, an Egyptian actor and television presenter known for his Ramadan prank shows. His prominence in Arabic-language media has helped popularize the name in contemporary popular culture within the region.

The name Ramez is still in occasional use today, particularly among families with Arabic or Persian naming traditions. It is less common in some Western contexts, where alternative spellings such as Ramiz may be encountered.
