What Does the Name Remee Mean?
Remee is best explained as a spelling of Remy, the English form of French Rémy and Rémi, which come from the Latin name Remigius. The Latin name means "rower" or "oarsman," built from remus, "oar," and a form of agere, "to drive" or "conduct" - literally the one who drives an oar.
The ending of Remee matches the final vowel of the French forms, which is pronounced "ee"; the spelling keeps an English ear and eye closer to that French sound than the plain -y of Remy does. The name's root is remus, "oar," so any resemblance to the English word "remedy" comes from the surface spelling only, not from the etymology.
Remee Name History & Origins
The Latin Remigius was the name of Saint Remigius (about 437 - 533), bishop of Reims, who baptized Clovis I, king of the Franks. His cult spread the name through medieval France, where it took the forms Rémy and Rémi, and a number of French towns and churches are named Saint-Rémy after him.
English use of Remy and its related spellings comes largely through French contact, and the name has long been used in France as a masculine given name while English spellings such as Remi, Remie, and Remee are also given to girls. Remee itself follows the same path as the other spellings: it represents the French pronunciation of the ending, respelled for English speakers who place the stress on the first syllable.
