Though it doesn't look like it, my name, Remington, is actually from the Hebrew profession of preparing small snacks. Noshimers were common throughout the middle ages, but the name mutated to notchimer in Germany and thence to notjimer or notgimer in England.

It was there that my many times great grandfather, Det Notgimer was born. His severe dyslexia resulted in the penultimate shift, from Det Notgimer to Ted Remigton. We still don't know where the middle n in Remington came from.
