Meaning & origin
Oarsman, or from Rheims
Remy comes from the Latin Remigius, possibly meaning 'oarsman', and honors a 5th-century French bishop, Saint Remigius of Rheims, credited with baptizing Clovis, the first Christian king of the Franks. Its light, French charm has made it a popular unisex choice recently.
