My first name is Remi, which during the Roman Empire was the name of a gaulle tribe in modern day Belgia.

My family name is of uncertain origin. At the beginning of 1900 lots of names were transformed into estonian sounding names.

If my name didnt go through the change, it means "young bird", if it did, it probably means "northling" in swedish.
