Remy or Remi is a short form of the male name Remigus which means 'oarsman'.
A bishop with the same name was a leading figure in French history. He was made a saint, and there are many statues and paintings of him. He's usually shown in bishop's robes, sometimes with a big bushy beard.
You can see some examples here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Remigius

As others have said, Remy Martin is the brand name of a very well-known French brandy.

And there must be getting on for 50 villages named Saint-Remy in France.

Yes, there is an American female rapper called Remy Ma, but her full first name is Reminisce.

Remi for a girl, Remy comes off as a bit more of a masculine spelling and reminds me of the Chelsea footballer!
