Ramil Origin and Meaning

The name Ramil is a boy's name of Arabic origin meaning "sand; geomancy, magic".

A simple yet intriguing name of Arabic origin, Ramil likely derives from the word ramal, translating literally to "sands", however, indirectly, it's associated with the practise of geomancy or earth divination, in which sand, rocks, and soil are used to predict the future. In Arabic, this is known as ilm al-raml ("science of the sand").

It is also used as a Filipino name, possibly related to the Arabic roots listed above, or a modern invention based on Jamal ("beautiful") and Ramiro ("great judge").
