Origin
Meaning and history of Remonica
The name Remonica is believed to have originated in the ancient region of Anatolia, which is now modern-day Turkey. It is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root word "remun," meaning "to move or wander." This name's earliest known usage dates back to the 5th century BCE, during the height of the Persian Empire.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Remonica was a prominent merchant from the city of Ephesus. Historical records indicate that she played a significant role in facilitating trade routes between the Aegean coast and the interior regions of Anatolia.
In the 3rd century BCE, a renowned philosopher named Remonica of Miletus is mentioned in various Greek texts. She was known for her contributions to the study of ethics and her teachings on virtuous living.
During the Byzantine Empire, a notable figure named Remonica Komnene lived in the 12th century CE. She was a member of the aristocratic Komnenos family and is believed to have been a patron of the arts and literature.
In the late 16th century, a Spanish explorer named Remonica de Castellanos was among the first Europeans to document the indigenous cultures of present-day Colombia. Her detailed accounts provided valuable insights into the lives and customs of the indigenous populations at that time.
Another significant figure was Remonica Aurivillius, a Swedish naturalist and entomologist who lived from 1642 to 1728. She made substantial contributions to the study of insects and is credited with describing and naming numerous species of butterflies and moths.
Throughout history, the name Remonica has been borne by individuals from various backgrounds, including scholars, artists, explorers, and naturalists.

FAQ
Remonica: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Remonica?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 32 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Remonica going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 10,711,073 US residents.
Is Remonica a common name?
We classify Remonica as "Very Rare". It ranks above 47.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 36 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Remonica most popular?
The single biggest year for Remonica was 1972, when 7 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Remonica is about 52 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Remonica in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Remonica a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Remonica in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Remonica still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Remonica in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Remonica can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
