      Variations

      The name Remigiusz is of Polish origin, derived from the Latin word Remus, which means oarsman or rower. This etymology highlights a connection to nautical themes, drawing on the imagery of navigating waters and guiding vessels.

      Historically, the name Remigiusz has been used in various forms across Europe, often linked to religious and cultural contexts. In Poland, the name gained popularity particularly in the Christian community, as it is associated with Saint Remigius, a significant figure in early Christian history known for baptizing the Frankish king Clovis I.

Additionally, the name has persisted through various periods, signifying its deep-rooted presence within Polish heritage.
