köken: Genericized trademark from the consumer brand Miojo, sold by Nissin Foods in Brazil, ultimately from Japanese 明星 (myōjō, “a bright star, Venus; an extraordinarily outstanding person”).
From Middle Dutch ramen (“to aim, to strive for, to guess”), possibly from Old Dutch *rāmon, from Proto-Germanic *rēmijaną, *rēmāną, perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₃reyH- (“to set in motion, move about”), as in English roam.
