Tarian ini lebih memiliki nilai ‘Peumulia Jame’ (memuliakan tamu) dan dilakukan oleh beberapa wanita dengan memegang kotak berisi sirih yang akan diberikan kepada tamu dan masyarakat. Ranup Lampuan berasal dari bahasa Aceh yaitu Ranup (sirih) Lam (didalam) dan Puan (wadah). Jika diartikan Ranup Lampuan memiliki arti Sirih yang Ada di Dalam Wadah (tempat).

This dance is more of a 'Peumulia Jame' (glorifying guest) and performed by some women holding a box of betel to be given to guests and the public. Ranup Lampuan comes from the Aceh language of Ranup (betel) Lam (inside) and Puan (vessel). If it means Ranup Lampuan means Betel Which is in The Vessel (place).
