Meaning & origin

Remee is a modern feminine name that first appeared on the U.S. baby-name charts in 2008, a relatively recent addition to naming trends. It reached its peak popularity in 2018, when it was given to the most babies, but has since experienced a steady decline in usage. As of the latest data from 2025, the name ranks 14,942, with a frequency of about 1 in 321,453 births. Its trajectory has been falling since 2017, suggesting that its moment of peak popularity may have passed. While not widespread across any particular states, Remee fits into a pattern of creatively spelled short names ending in "ee" sound, such as Kilee or Emree. Overall, Remee remains a rare choice, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive yet familiar-sounding name.

Remee is a contemporary coinage, first recorded in the United States in 2008. It appears to be a phonetic respelling of the names Remy or Remi, which are French diminutives of the Latin name Remigius, derived from "remigium" (oarsmanship). The name has been used for both boys and girls but is predominantly given to girls in recent years.
