Requiem Origin and Meaning

The name Requiem is a boy's name meaning "rest; act or token of remembrance; Mass or musical composition for the souls of the dead".

A word name with grandeur, musicality, and a hint of spirituality, Requiem could have the nickname Remi. Associated with remembrance, Catholic Mass, and music for the dead, it more literally means "rest". It has never been used as a name, as yet.
