The red grape variety originates from France. Amor-Não-Me-Deixes (Portugal), Aramone, Aramonen, Aramon Chernyi, Aramon Crni, Aramon Negro, Aramon Noire, Aramon Pignat, Aramon Pigne, Aramon Saint Joseph, Aramont, Arramant, Burchard’s Prince, Burchardt’s Prince, Burkhard, Eramoul, Eromoul, Gros Bouteillan, Kék Aramon, Pisse-Vin, Plant Riche, Rabalaïré, Raballaïré, Ramonen, Réballaïré, Revalaire, Revellaire, Rosa di Bitti and Ugni Noir.
Despite seemingly indicative synonyms or morphological similarities, it should not be confused with the varieties Bouteillan Noir or Juan García. There is no relation to Trebbiano Toscano (Ugni Blanc), which the synonym Ugni Noir might suggest. According to 2021 DNA analyses, it originates from a presumably natural crossing between Ouliven x Gouais Blanc. In the Hérault area, there are the light-berried mutations Aramon Blanc and Aramon Gris. Aramon Noir was a crossing partner in the new cultivars Alicante Ganzin, Bouschet Gros, Clairette Dorée Ganzin, Flot Rouge, Gramon, Grand Noir, Monerac and Petit Bouschet.
