Lalitā Sahasranāma ◆, Name 319 of 1000: रामा · Rāmā

The plain Sanskrit word for a woman one cannot look away from serves as her name.

In the stotra the name is chanted as it stands, rāmā, as part of Shloka 72. In the nāmāvalī, the form used for arcana(worship with an offering at each name), it is turned to the dative, the case of offering: “to her”. Then it is framed by oṃ before and namaḥ, “salutation”, after.
