📖 Über Rémy

Rémy ist die französische Form des lateinischen Remigius ('Ruderer'), verewigt durch den Heiligen Remigius von Reims, der Clovis I. am Weihnachtstag 496 n. Chr. taufte — eines der folgenreichsten Ereignisse der europäischen Geschichte; heute steigt der Name in den USA stark an (Rang 742→340 über drei Jahrzehnte), befördert durch Pixars geliebten Köche-Ratte aus Ratatouille und das Prestige des Cognac-Hauses Rémy Martin.
