History & Origin

Remmy varies Remy, from Latin Remigius — traditionally tied to remex, 'oarsman', though some scholars see a different root — the name of the bishop-saint who baptized Clovis and christened France itself. Pixar's Ratatouille and Rémy Martin cognac give the sound its modern double life.

The -mmy form adds nickname warmth, paralleling Tommy and Jimmy. It appears rarely in U.S. records, where Remy (for both sexes) leads the family.

Did you know? St. Remigius baptized Clovis, king of the Franks, around 496 — the conversion that made France 'the eldest daughter of the Church' and this name a French fixture.
