Remey is French in Origin.

Remey is a modern English spelling of Rémy/Remy, the French form of the Latin name Remigius, from remex “oarsman, rower.” Pronounced either REM-ee in English or ray-MEE after French Rémy, it evokes ideas of guidance and steady progress. The name entered wider European use through Saint Remigius (St. Rémy), the 5th‑century bishop of Reims who baptized the Frankish king Clovis, securing lasting popularity in France and neighboring regions.

Today Remey is a rare given name in the U.S. and U.K., more often treated as a unisex variant of Remy/Remi than as the older surname Remey. Spellings and related forms include Rémy, Remy, Rémi, Remi, Remie, Rémie, and the longer Remigius/Remigio; short forms Rem and Rems occur as nicknames. In multicultural contexts, it may also echo Yoruba Remi, short for Oluremi (“the Lord consoles me”), though that derives from different roots. Remey blends a venerable saint’s heritage with contemporary, streamlined style.
