Meaning & origin
Renesmay is an extremely rare modern name that first entered U.S. birth records in 2013, likely inspired by the character Renesmee from the Twilight book and film series. The name blends Renesmee with the month of May, though it may also be a variant spelling of Renesmee. Its popularity peaked in 2015, but it remains uncommon; in 2025, it ranked 9,457th, with only about 1 in 160,727 girls receiving the name. The name has not appeared enough in any state to register in top state lists, reflecting its niche appeal. Renesmay is a clear example of a literary name spinning off into new forms, driven by fan creativity.
Renesmay is a modern coinage that appears to combine elements of the name Renesmee (itself a literary invention from the Twilight series, blending Renée and Esme) with the month name May. It first appears in U.S. records in 2013, following the release of the final Twilight film in 2012, suggesting it arose from fan culture. The name remains rare, with no established history or traditional use.
