Remmie

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Remmie: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2025.

Remmie is most often a modern diminutive or variant of Remy or Remington, ultimately from the Latin name Remigius, meaning "oarsman" or "rower." The root comes from the Roman family name Remigius, derived from remex (oarsman), and saw a revival in the Middle Ages via Saint Remigius, the bishop who baptised Clovis I, King of the Franks. Notable modern bearers are rare, though it has gained quiet popularity in Scotland as an affectionate short form of Remy or as a standalone choice. Place connections are slim, but the longer form Remy shares its root with several French communes. A further note: Remmie has seen a steady, if modest, rise in Scotland since the early 2000s, appealing to parents seeking a soft, unisex, and slightly retro nickname-name that feels fresh without being overused.
