What does Remington mean?
/ˈɹɛmɪŋtən/3 syllablesOrigin: a surname

Remington is an English surname derived from a place name, likely describing a settlement near a border or boundary, an element related to an old word for "edge" or "rim." Today it's just as recognizable as the name behind the Remington firearms and typewriter companies.

Remington has a solid, confident sound that suits a sturdy, self-assured companion. It carries a bit of old-fashioned American character, at home on a dog with a steady, dependable temperament.
