Re: Ramon
in reply to a message by Swiff
There's actually a place called Ram On as you can see at http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&country=IL&addtohistory=&city=ram+on. However, that's not the source of the family name. Ramo(u)n is actually a variant of Rachman, an Aramaic attribute of God meaning 'merciful'.
