Yes the name exists. I am a Rambo.
Peter Gunnerson Rambo came to America from Sweden in the early 1600s and his ancestors settled in the areas of Pennsyvania to eastern ohio down in to the Shennandoah Valley. Alot of them still live in these areas, but I have run into rambos all over the country. The Rambos came to Sweden from Scotland and to Scotland from France. I have meet a Rambeaud in the Loire Valley in France just as the web site in the previous message said.
Peter Rambo also brought to America the Rambo Apple (originally cultivated in France). The seeds of these apples were use by Johnny Appleseed. The full story about the apple is on the national arbor society web site.
