The surname RAMNARACE is believed to have originated in the Indian subcontinent, likely in the region that is now known as West Bengal or Bangladesh. The name's roots can be traced back to the 16th or 17th century, when it was likely derived from a combination of words or phrases in one of the local languages spoken in that area.

One possible origin of the name could be from the Sanskrit words "ram" meaning "god" or "supreme being" and "narace" meaning "person" or "human".
