Renesmee

Girl name · 12 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Renesmee: 12 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2016.

The name Renesmee is a modern invention, created by author Stephenie Meyer for her Twilight saga by blending the names Renée and Esme—her grandmother’s name and a character’s name, respectively. Its meaning is entirely personal, carrying the love and family connections behind its components. The most famous bearer is Renesmee Cullen, the half-human, half-vampire daughter of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, whose unique ability to share memories made her central to the series’ conclusion. While the name has no historical or geographical ties, its appearance in the Twilight books and films sparked a brief surge in use among fans, particularly around 2010–2012. Renesmee remains a rare, distinctly fictional choice, best suited for parents who cherish the story’s romantic legacy.
