What Remis means

Remis is best understood alongside Remus: both are English spellings of one family name. Its meaning, shared with Remus, is “A descendant of Remus (protector)”.

Remis is listed among the recognised spellings of Remus. Regional accents shaped spellings long before dictionaries fixed them. The same family of names includes Remes, Remu and Ramus. 327 Americans were listed as Remis in the 2010 census. Spanish statistics put 431 people with Remis in first position and 378 in second. Each Spaniard has two surnames, so the same name is counted once as first and once as second surname.
