Origin Displayed: French

Where did the French Remi family come from? What is the French coat of arms/family crest? When did the Remi family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

From the historical and enchanting region of Artois emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Remi family. Originally, people were known only by a single name. The process by which hereditary surnames were adopted in Artois is extremely interesting. Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. Two of the common types of family names found in the Artois are patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Remy, Reme, Remme, Remmes, Remmy, Remi, Remmi, Remie, Remies, Remis, Larem and many more.

First found in Artois where they were anciently seated in the seigneurie of Campeau, and were one of the distinguished members of the aristocracy in the north-east tip of France where their estates were as far south as Lorraine, Picardy, and Champagne.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Bartel Reme who settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1737; Mr. Remi settled in Louisiana in 1820; Jacob Remie settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1737.
