Remie is a unique and charming unisex name of Dutch origin, derived from the Latin 'Remigius', which means 'rowing' or 'rowing to the shore'. It is often associated with the Saint Remigius, who was the bishop of Reims in France during the 5th century. The name has gained popularity in recent years due to its distinctive sound and spelling, yet it remains uncommon enough to stand out. Remie is typically pronounced /ˈriːmi/, with a long 'i' sound similar to 'ree'. It lends itself well to various nicknames such as Remi or Rem, offering further flexibility and personalization. In literature, Remie is best known as the protagonist in Belgian author Conscience's novel 'La Famille de Remi', published in 1869.
The name Remie experienced a notable increase in popularity over time, with a significant jump from the single digits in the late '90s to reaching triple digits by 2016 and remaining consistently high since then.
