Remy
Croissants and baguettes are not the only things that the French gave to us; the name Remy is another. The name Remy has Latin roots and is taken from the word 'remigius'. This is a variant of ‘remigis’, which means ‘oar’. Therefore, the meaning of Remy is ‘the one with the oar’, ‘the rower’ or ‘the oarsman’. Remy is also the name of a 5th-century Christian saint. The name first became popular after it was given to Saint Remi, who was also known as the ‘Apostle of the Franks’ (or the Apostle of the French). He was the Bishop of Reims and is best known for baptising the first King of the Franks, King Clovis I. This baptism caused a domino effect, as it led to the entirety of the French population (at the time) converting to Christianity. This significant historical event led to him being named as one of the patron saints of France. Remy is also derived from the word ‘remedius’, meaning ‘remedy’ or ‘cure’. Alternatively, Remy can also be used to refer to a person from Rheims, a city in France. Finally, Remy is the name of the rat and the protagonist in Pixar's classic 'Ratatouille'.
