History & Origin

Remyngton is a contemporary respelling of Remington, an English place name and surname combining a stream name with Old English tun, 'settlement'. In the U.S. the name is also strongly associated with the Remington company, which made both firearms and typewriters; we note that association without weighting it. The y spelling is a modern American choice (said 'REM-ing-tun').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S., against wider use of Remington. Rare, surname-style, and long-lined.

Did you know? Remington began as an English place name — a settlement on the Riming stream — and later became an American manufacturing name attached to both firearms and typewriters, which we note neutrally (said 'REM-ing-tun').
