Raamah Raamah

Raamah is a son of Cush, son of Ham, son of Noah.

The name Raamah derives from the root raam (ra'am 2189) meaning to thunder. An obvious derivative (or rather the parent noun) is raam (ra'am 2189a), meaning thunder. Another derivation, rama (ra'ma 2189b), illustrates the wonderful dexterity of the Hebrew language, as this particularly 'noisy' verb is applied to the decisively soundless waving of a horse's manes - "You have clothed his neck with rama" (Job 39:19).

The name Raamah means Thunder.
