Remygius is Latin in Origin.

Remygius is a rare medieval-Latin variant of Remigius, a name from classical Latin remex (genitive remigis) meaning “oarsman, rower,” built on remus “oar.” By association it suggests guidance, steady movement, and skill in steering a course, a metaphor that later Christian tradition linked with pastoral leadership.

The best-known bearer is Saint Remigius (Rémi) of Reims (5th–6th c.), whose fame spread the name across Frankish and wider European Christendom, especially in France and the German lands. While Remigius remained the scholarly Latin form, vernaculars yielded Rémi/Rémy and modern Remy; southern Europe uses Remigio (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Poland has Remigiusz, and Hungary preserves Remig. Feminine counterparts include Remigia. Remygius appears occasionally in medieval records as a spelling shaped by French Rémy plus the Latin -ius ending; today it is rare but readily understood as part of the Remy/Remigius family, with nicknames Remy and Remi.
