Remington is from the Old English *Rimmington* — "ridge town." **A modern American baby name in the top-1000 since 2018 (unisex; rising for girls)**. **Frederic Remington (1861-1909)** — **American artist and sculptor; one of the most-acclaimed painters of the American West; produced 3,000+ paintings, drawings, and sculptures; his work — including *The Bronco Buster* (1895) — defined the visual iconography of the American frontier and cowboy mythology that shaped American identity through the 20th century**. **Remington Arms** — major American firearms manufacturer founded 1816; one of the oldest US gun manufacturers. **Remington Steele (1982-1987)** — NBC TV series with Pierce Brosnan in the title role; launched his career before James Bond. **Remington Hill** — American TikTok creator. **Remington Klein** — modern celebrity baby name. The name's surge in modern American naming reflects the broader 2010s-2020s American taste for surname-and-place-name choices that evoke Western frontier heritage (Remington, Carson, Wyatt, Wilder, Maverick). **The Remington Award** is given annually by the Cowboy Hall of Fame. **Remington Rand** — American typewriter manufacturer; merged with Sperry in 1955.
