The word Ramadan derives from the Arabic root “scorching heat”, which is the Classical Arabic verb “ramiḍa ” meaning “become intensely hot – become burning; become scorching; be blazing; be glowing”.Ramadan is thought as one of the names of God in Islam by some, and as such it is reported in many hadiths that it is prohibited to say only “Ramadan” in reference to the calendar month and that it is necessary to say “month of Ramadan”, as reported in Sunni, and Zaydi sources.
