Remington is English in Origin.
Remington is an English habitational surname turned given name, linked to places such as Rimington in Lancashire. Formed from Old English elements -ing 'people of' and tun 'enclosure, settlement,' the first part is debated: it may come from hraefn 'raven' (giving 'settlement of the raven-people') or from a personal name like Hrema (yielding 'estate of Hrema's people').
The surname appears in medieval records and became familiar through figures like gunmaker Eliphalet Remington and Western artist Frederic Remington. As a first name it rose sharply in the United States in the late 20th and early 21st centuries and is used for all genders. Common short forms include Remy, Remi, and Rem; variant or related spellings are Remmington (rare) and the cognate surnames Rimington and Rimmington. Overall sense: 'settlement or town of a leader's people,' often interpreted as 'raven-town.'
