Remington

/ˈɹɛmɪŋtən/

Where it comes from

The surname is from Rimington, from Old English rima (“edge, border”) + -ing + -tun (literally “settlement by the boundary stream”).

proper noun

An English habitational surname from Old English; (art) used specifically of Frederic Remington (1861–1909), an American artist who specialized in depictions of the Old West. One of his movies may suggest an inward unity and spaciousness that seems a mark of good fiction, as in The Big Sleep; it may have the scope and resonance to fill a historical landscape worthy of Remington, as Red River does.
A male given name transferred from the surname, of modern usage.
A town in Indiana; named for the founder of the town's general store.
A neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland; named for early landowner William Remington.
A town in Virginia.
A hamlet in Ohio.
A town in Wisconsin.

noun Remingtons

A gun produced by the American manufacturer Remington Arms.
A kind of typewriter.
