What is the meaning of the name Remo ?

The baby name Remo is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced {'Italian': 'REH-mo (ˈrɛ.mo)', 'English': 'RAY-mo (ˈreɪ.moʊ)'}.

Remo is Italian in Origin.

Remo is an Italian given name most commonly understood as the Italian form of Remus, the twin of Romulus in Rome’s foundation myth. The ultimate etymology of Remus is uncertain - likely pre-Latin (Sabine or Etruscan) - though Italian remo means “oar,” a folk link that has colored the name’s sense without proving its origin.

Usage in Italy grew during the 19th‑century classical revival and the Risorgimento, and the name remains familiar in Italy and in Italian- and Romansh-speaking Switzerland (e.g., footballer Remo Freuler). Notable Italian bearers include philosopher Remo Bodei and composer Remo Giazotto. Variants and related forms include Remus (Latin/English/German/Romanian) and, when Remo is treated as a short form of Remigio, cognates such as Rémy/Remy (French), Remigiusz (Polish), and Remigio (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese). Meaning: as Remus, uncertain; as a diminutive of Remigio, “rower; oarsman,” from Latin remex (gen. remigis), related to remus “oar.”
