What does Remy mean?
2 syllables

Remy is a French given name historically linked to Saint Remigius, the bishop remembered for baptizing Clovis, the first king of the Franks, in the late 5th century.

Light and a little dapper, it suits a pet with easygoing French charm — equally at home curled up at a café table or trotting through the park.
