Ramsay Origin and Meaning

The name Ramsay is a boy's name of English origin meaning "low-lying land".

A surname occasionally used as a first, as in former attorney general Ramsey Clark. This spelling is now closely associated with the psychopathic Game of Thrones villain Ramsay Snow (later Ramsay Bolton), and so is probably best avoided as long as the show and books are popular.
