Facts About
Ramsey
Ramsey is a locational surname coming from any of the places so-called or similarly spelled across Britain. Locational surnames were traditionally given to someone who had moved away to a new area, whereby they were assigned the name of their original home as a surname to differentiate them from the other townspeople. The place name itself comes from the Old English ‘hramsa’ meaning garlic. Places with this name would have been in an area abundant with garlic. Rather fittingly, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey is a famous bearer of this surname. |
