Meaning & History
The first element of this name is derived from the Lithuanian verb rimti meaning "to calm down, to quieten". It is related to the Lithuanian adjective ramus meaning "calm, quiet, peaceful" (see Ramūnas) and the Lithuanian noun ramybė meaning "tranquility, peace, quiet". The second element of this name is derived from Baltic vald meaning "rule" (see Visvaldas). As such, the meaning of this name is basically "to rule calmly" and thus likely refers to a person who is a peaceful ruler that does not oppress his subjects.
