Remigius is a historical male given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name 'Remigius'. It was quite popular during the Middle Ages, particularly among the nobility and clergy. The name is composed of two elements: 'remig-' meaning 'rowing' or 'rowing on', likely referring to strength and power, and '-ius' signifying belonging to a particular group or family. While no longer commonly used today, Remigius has historical significance and was once borne by notable figures such as Saint Remigius of Lyons, a 6th-century bishop known for his missionary work.
"Remigius saw five newborns named after it in the year 1926."
