Remedios is from the Spanish Nuestra Señora de los Remedios ("Our Lady of Remedies"). Remedios Varo (1908-1963) was the Spanish-Mexican Surrealist painter — friend of Frida Kahlo, Leonora Carrington, and the Mexico City exile community of Surrealists during WWII. Her exquisite small canvases — depicting alchemists, scientists, embroideresses, and travelers in fantastical machines — are now considered masterpieces of Surrealism.
Remedios does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Remedios reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
