To those who aren’t in the know, the idea of picking out a name that means ram intentionally might sound somewhat strange. But(as you probably know already if you’re reading this), rams have held deep meaning across various ancient societies, where they symbolize leadership and determination. What’s not to like?
Unfortunately, all the names below are usually used for males, and no names meaning “ram” are commonly used for females. Still, why not be a trendsetter and switch the genders around?
The obvious place to start with this is the most universally understood symbol of the ram of all: the Aries astrology symbol. There’s just one obvious caveat with this one – calling someone with the Aries sun sign Aries is a little too obvious, yet naming a child Aries when they’re born under a different sun sign is simply confusing. To each their own.
Moving swiftly on, we have Baran. This name exists in a few Slavic and Eastern European countries, where it shares the same meaning (“ram”) – including Poland and Slovakia. However, it has a meaning closer to “rain” and “flood” in Middle Eastern languages like Persian and Kurdish.
Jubal is a Biblical name of Hebrew name. It’s not exactly a literal translation of “ram,” but it does have a meaning that comes very close. In the Bible, Jubal invented the harp and the pipes, and the name means “ram’s horn.”
Finally, Ransh is a Hindi name that means Aparajit, which is in turn another name for the Lord Ram, a deity in Hinduism. It might not mean ram as in male sheep, but it’s equally valid.
