Meaning & origin
Remigio is a masculine name of Latin origin, the Italian and Spanish form of Remigius. It has been recorded in the United States since at least 1910, when it first appeared in Social Security data at rank 12008. Its peak year was also 1910, and its trajectory has remained stable, never gaining widespread popularity. In 2025, it remains rare, with approximately 1 in 341615 boys receiving the name. Top states of usage have not been recorded in significant numbers, reflecting its infrequent use nationwide. The name carries religious and historical connotations through Saint Remigius, yet it has avoided the spotlight, maintaining a quiet presence. For parents seeking a distinctive name with European roots, Remigio offers an uncommon choice with a classic feel.
Remigio is the Italian and Spanish form of the Latin name Remigius, derived from "remex" meaning "rower" or "oarsman". The name was borne by a 5th-century French saint, Remigius of Reims, who baptized Clovis I, king of the Franks. It has been used in Italy and Spain since medieval times, though it has always been relatively rare.
