Remy is a gender-neutral name of French origins and stems from Rheims, a city in northeastern France near Paris. The city is known for major events like royal coronations and history-changing decisions. Remy may also come from the Latin name Remigius, meaning "oarsman" or "rower," and encouraging your little one to go where the current takes them. Remy is also the name of the loveable little chef from Disney’s Ratatouille, so it may link to fond memories for parents and someday baby too. Whether the Parisian connections inspire you, or Remy makes you think of your favorite family film, you can’t go wrong.
