RAMSARAN
Ramsaran
Ramsaran is a British surname with its origins rooted in the Indian subcontinent, particularly in the regions of India and Pakistan. The surname is believed to have been derived from the Sanskrit word "Rama", which refers to the Hindu god, Lord Rama, and the Persian word "Sar" meaning head or leader. Thus, Ramsaran can be interpreted as "devotee of Lord Rama".
The migration of people from the Indian subcontinent to the United Kingdom during the British colonial period and in subsequent years has led to the presence of the Ramsaran surname in British society.

As with many surnames, Ramsaran may have undergone variations in spelling and pronunciation over the years, depending on factors such as regional dialects and transliteration practices. Despite these variations, the surname Ramsaran continues to be a distinctive marker of South Asian ancestry within the diverse multicultural landscape of British society.
