Remy
Meaning of Remy
Remy is a breezy little globetrotter of a name—born in ancient Rome from the Latin “Remigius,” meaning “oarsman,” polished to a silken sheen in France, and now sailing happily into English–speaking nurseries. Whether one says RAY-mee at the playground or the chic reh-MEE over café au lait, Remy wears both accents like a jaunty beret. Unisex by nature, it moves with equal grace on boys and girls, like a dancer switching partners mid-rumba. Pop culture has sprinkled extra stardust on it—from Saint Rémy, patron of French kings, to the quick-witted rat-chef of Pixar fame, and even the amber glow of Rémy Martin cognac. Stateside, the name has paddled steadily upstream: once a rare fish in the Social Security charts, it now surfaces in the 300s, proof that parents are warming to its mix of Gallic charm and easygoing snap. All told, Remy feels like a sunny afternoon along the Seine—short, sweet, and forever ready for the next adventure.
