Remigiusz is Polish in Origin.

Remigiusz is the Polish form of Latin Remigius, from remex/remigis “oarsman, rower,” with the -ius suffix. The name gained prominence through Saint Remigius (St. Rémi), 5th-century bishop of Reims who baptized the Frankish king Clovis, making it a symbol of Christian conversion and guidance. It circulated in medieval church records and scholastic circles, appearing in Merovingian and Carolingian contexts, and reached Poland via ecclesiastical contacts; while never common, it has steady traditional recognition.

International variants include Remigius (Latin/German), Rémi/Rémy (French), Remy (English), Remigio/Remígio (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Remigijus (Lithuanian), and Remig (Hungarian). The Polish feminine counterpart is Remigia. Diminutives in Polish include Remik and Remek, with Remi also used internationally. The meaning “oarsman” lends figurative senses of steering, guidance, and perseverance; modern parents sometimes appreciate its blend of Slavic texture with pan-European history and the approachable short form Remi.
