Ramata

Meaning of Ramata

Ramata is a feminine name with roots in Arabic and Mandinka traditions, derived from the Arabic word “rahma,” meaning mercy or compassion. Common in West African nations such as Senegal, Mali and Guinea, it conveys a wish for generosity and kindness. In the United States, Ramata remains rare but steady: the Social Security Administration registered six newborn girls with the name in 2024, placing it at 944th overall after similar counts and rankings in recent years. Though its heritage lies outside the Romance languages, Ramata’s clear, vowel-driven form resonates with Latin linguistic rhythms, enhancing its appeal in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities and underscoring its growing global presence.
