History & Origin

Remiah is a recent American coinage joining Remi (French Remy, from Latin Remigius, 'oarsman') to the fashionable -iah ending. Some parents also hear Jeremiah in it. No older tradition sits behind this form, and the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'reh-MY-ah').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, modern, and lilting.

Did you know? Behind Remi sits Latin Remigius, 'oarsman' — the name of a great French saint — while the -iah ending comes from the very different world of Mariah and Aaliyah.
