According to Black, The Surnames of Scotland, "the Ramsays are supposed to have come from Huntingdonshire where Ramsey is a local name." Black shows a number of historic spelling variations, including Ramesay, Rameseye, Ramissay, Remesey and Ramhishay.

A thorough genealogical search is the only way to be certain of your Ramsey's origin.
