One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Rambousek can be found in a land registry document from the town of Litomerice, dated 1487. The document mentions a man named Jan Rambousek, who was a landowner in the region.

In the 16th century, variations of the name began to appear in different regions of Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic). For instance, the spelling "Rambausek" was found in records from the city of Pilsen, while "Rambousik" was used in the town of Pardubice.

During the 17th century, the name Rambousek gained more prominence, particularly in the area around Prague. A notable figure from this period was Vaclav Rambousek (1612-1688), a respected artisan and woodcarver who created intricate religious sculptures for churches in the region.
