About the name Ramasamy

Ramasamy is a Tamil name built from two elements: Rama, the name of the Hindu deity from Sanskrit (an avatar of Vishnu in the Ramayana), and samy, a spelling of Tamil sami (cāmi), a title meaning god, chief, master or guru. Together they can be read as 'Rama the lord'. According to JPN, the name peaked in the 1950s with 432 baby boys.

People registered with Ramasamy as their first name (as published by JPN), by decade of birth, for the decades in which it was in the top 10 for its sex in the JPN Indian table. Bar length shows the name’s share of that decade’s top-10 total for the sex (the percentage after the count), because those totals differ between decades. Source: JPN via data.gov.my (CC BY 4.0)
