Remi
“Short form of Latin Remigius, 'oarsman'; a 6th-century French saint”
Remi arrives with French cafe nonchalance, two easy syllables that swing from hip to hip. A short form of the Latin Remigius, meaning oarsman, it was the name of a sixth-century French bishop and saint, and it has been reborn in the twenty-first century as a crisp unisex pick, currently at 145. Sometimes spelled Remy or Remie, the Remi spelling reads slightly softer and is particularly trending for girls. Two syllables, REH-mee, the soft opening consonant and the clean long E landing. Nickname Rem is cool without trying. Artistic, contemporary, a little bit Parisian, a little bit American indie. Short and stylishly sure of itself.
