Ramesses Origin and Meaning

The name Ramesses is a boy's name meaning "born of Ra".

One of the most ancient names we still know today, Ramesses ("born of Ra, the sun god") was the name of eleven pharaohs, perhaps including the one in the Moses story. Ramesses first entered the US charts in 2007, and is now used occasionally as a royal historic name with all the grandeur of ancient Egypt.
