The gender-neutral name Remy will represent your little one's ability to find solutions and paths forward even when none seem visible. As the French form of the Latin titles Remigius and Remedius, Remy holds two intriguing definitions. Remigius means "oarsman" or "rower," so your tiny tot might just be very capable of paddling their own canoe! Remedius' translations of "cure" or "remedy" will also fit your tiny tot's story, as you'll watch them conquer many challenges and be the reason for many people's smiles!


This moniker can also be used as a shortened form of Remington, an English last name meaning "settlement on the Riming stream." If you're a fan of Disney's Ratatouille, you'll recognize Remy as the name of the adorable, chef-aspiring main character. Remy's versatility and loveliness are praised by The Bump community member babydragonsister, who says, "I think it's very cute. I know a boy Remy, but I think it works for a girl, too. It's unique and sweet."
