Remo

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Remo: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2006.

From the Latin *Remus*, Remo shares its root with the name of one of Rome’s legendary twin founders, though as an Italian given name it developed separately as a short form of names like Remigio or Girolamo. The most famous bearer is Remo Giazotto, the Italian composer who wrote the hauntingly beautiful *Adagio in G Minor*, long misattributed to Albinoni. In Scotland, the name has never charted widely, giving it a distinctive, continental feel. A fascinating place connection is the Brazilian city of Remo, named not after the myth but after a local rubber baron. Fans of cinema might also recall *The Remo: Unarmed and Dangerous* training programme from the 1980s action film *Remo Williams*, giving the name a cult, stealthy edge.
