About Ramanuj

A Sanskrit compound name, combining the elements Rama and Anuj — both also used as names in their own right — Ramanuj means "young brother of Rama."

Rama is the hero of the Hindu epic, Ramayana and believed to be an incarnation of the god Vishnu, a supreme being, and an ideal man. He has three younger brothers, Lakshmana, Shatrughna, and Bharata, so this name could honor them too.

Anuj is sometimes used as a short form.

Pronounced rah-muh-NOOJ.

Editor's take: The name Ramanuj is a boy's name meaning "younger brother of Rama".
