Ramaz
The name carries the sense of "scorching heat," tied to Ramadan. In Poland it stays outside everyday life: only a few hundred men answer to it, and most Poles will never meet one.
Ramaz Pronunciation
Ramaz is pronounced RAH-mahs (/ˈramas/).
What Ramaz means
Where Ramaz comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Ramaz enters Polish name lists from well outside the Slavic world. Its root is Arabic: the consonants r-m-ḍ, meaning to be scorching hot, the ground baked hard by the summer sun. That same root gives the month of Ramadan its name, since it once fell in the hottest part of the year. The Polish gloss żar słoneczny stays close to that older sense.
The name traveled east and settled. In Georgia it became Ramaz, an ordinary given name for men. One bearer was Ramaz Shengelia, the striker whose Dinamo Tbilisi beat Carl Zeiss Jena in 1981 to win the European Cup Winners' Cup, the first Georgian club to take a UEFA title.
In a Polish class register the name would stand apart from the Kacpers and Barteks around it, an unfamiliar shape a teacher reads twice. There is no Polish name-day for it, and no diminutive worn smooth by use. What it offers instead is a plain meaning, żar słoneczny, and a root that ties a Georgian footballer to the heat of a desert month.
