Meaning and background
The story behind Remi
Remi is a modern English form of French Rémi and is also used as a feminine name. Behind the Name's explicit chain runs through Rémi and Rémy to Latin Remigius, associated with an oarsman or rower. The French tradition also includes Saint Rémy, the bishop connected with Clovis's baptism. Those links provide a documented name-family history rather than deriving the unaccented spelling independently from a modern word.
