Settlement of the people of Rimme
An English surname-turned-given-name, it originally denoted a person from the town of Rimington in Lancashire. The town's name is derived from the Old English river name 'Rimme' combined with 'ing' (people of) and 'tun' (settlement). While traditionally masculine, it is increasingly used as a gender-neutral option in the United States.
