History & Origin

Renesmae is a -mae styled spelling of Renesmee — the name Stephenie Meyer coined in Breaking Dawn by blending Renée (Latin renatus, 'reborn') with Esme (Old French, 'esteemed, beloved'). Born in fiction in 2008, it crossed into real-world use with Twilight's fans.

It registers thinly as a fan-loved coinage. Rare, reborn-and-beloved at the roots, and literary-modern.

Did you know? Stephenie Meyer invented Renesmee for the Twilight saga by fusing the names of Bella's mother (Renée) and Edward's adoptive mother (Esme) — two grandmothers in one name.
