Remmy is a spelling variant of Remy, the French name from the Latin Remigius, which is usually traced to remex and means "oarsman"; Saint Remigius baptized Clovis, the first Christian king of the Franks. The lovable chef rat Remy in Pixar's Ratatouille gave the name a boost after 2007, and the doubled m makes the short e sound unmistakable. Remmy had fewer than five births in 2000, peaked at number 2223 in 2016 and ranks number 2924 in 2025 with 43 births.
