I just wanted to note that although the name Ramūnas is indeed ultimately derived from Lithuanian 'ramus' meaning "calm", it also contains the Lithuanian (masculine) patronymic suffix -ūnas. For more information about that suffix, please see:
- "On the distribution of personal names with the suffix -(i)ūnas in the seventeenth century" written by Vitalija Maciejauskienė:
http://www.lki.lt/LKI_LT/index.php?%20%20option=com_content&view=article&id=489
(in English)
- "Lithuanian Names" written by William R. Schmalstieg:
http://www.lituanus.org/1982_3/82_3_01.htm
(in English; also gives an example of a given name that is similar in construction to Ramūnas: Arūnas, which comes from from 'aras' meaning "eagle" plus the suffix -ūnas)
-

(in English)
With that said, here are other sources for the name Ramūnas that might be of note:
-
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram%C5%ABnas
(in German)
-
https://www.tevu-darzelis.lt/vaiku-vardai/Ramunas/
(in Lithuanian; mentions that Ramūnas comes from the name Ramas, which itself is derived from Lithuanian 'ramus' meaning "calm")

(in English; mentions that Ramūnas contains the suffix -ūnas). [noted -ed]
