What Does the Name Remilynn Mean?
Remilynn is a compound name made from two familiar elements: Remi (also spelled Remy) and the ending -lynn. Remi is the French form of the Latin name Remigius, which comes from remigius, meaning "rower" or "oarsman," built from remus, "oar," and agere, "to drive or lead." The -lynn element comes from Welsh llyn, "lake" or "pool."
Taken at the level of its parts, the name carries the sense "rower" plus "lake." No separate etymology has been recorded for the combination itself, so its meaning is simply the meaning of the two elements it is built from rather than a single inherited translation.
Remilynn Name History & Origins
The Remi element goes back to Latin Remigius, a Roman name borne by Saint Remigius (in French, saint Rémi), bishop of Reims, who baptized Clovis I, king of the Franks, around 496. Through his influence the name became common in France as Rémi and Rémy, and the surname Rémy developed from it as well. English speakers later took up Remi and Remy, where the name is used for both boys and girls.
Lynn comes from Welsh llyn, "lake." It entered English use as a surname drawn from place names and later became a given name in its own right. It also became a standard second element in feminine names such as Marilyn, Carolyn, Evelyn, and Gwendolyn, usually spelled -lyn or -lynn. Remilynn follows that English pattern of joining a short first element to -lynn, which is why the first part keeps the French spelling Remi while the ending is the Welsh-derived lynn.
