Line 1: {{~~wiktionary~~Wiktionary\|RAMBO\|Rambo\|rambo\|bo\|ramn}} '''Rambo''' is a surname with Norwegian ([[Vestfold]]) and Swedish origins. It possibly originated with ''[[:wikt:ramn#Old Swedish\|ramn]]'' + ''[[:wikt:bo#Swedish\|bo]]'', meaning "raven's nest". It has variants in French (''Rambeau'', ''Rambaut'', and ''Rimbaud'') and German (''Rambow''). It is now best known from the [[Rambo (franchise)\|''Rambo'' franchise]], whose protagonist was known simply as "Rambo" in the novel that inspired it, ''[[First Blood (novel)\|First Blood]]'' (1972), and then as [[John Rambo]] in the film series.
