Remi

Remi (often Rémy in France) comes from the Latin Remigius, from 'remex' (oarsman). It is also occasionally linked to 'remedium' (remedy). Saint Remigius was a central figure in French history, having baptized Clovis I in the 5th century, effectively creating the first Christian King of the Franks and cementing the name's place in the French royal consciousness.
