Remmy Origin and Meaning
The name Remmy is a boy's name.
Remmy is a charming masculine name with multiple possible origins. It could be a diminutive of Remington, a surname-turned-first-name meaning 'raven settlement,' or a variation of Remy, derived from the Latin 'remigius' meaning 'oarsman.' With its approachable two-syllable structure and friendly 'y' ending, Remmy conveys a casual warmth and boyish appeal. The name has gained modest popularity in recent decades as parents seek alternatives to more traditional names. While maintaining a playful quality suitable for childhood, Remmy transitions well to adulthood. Its phonetic simplicity crosses cultural boundaries easily, contributing to its growing appeal in English-speaking countries as a contemporary yet unpretentious choice.
