Remzija (also seen as Remziye in Turkish orthography) is a feminine given name used in Bosnian and Ottoman-influenced contexts. The name derives from Arabic ramz (رَمْز), 'symbol' or 'sign.' Through Turkish linguistic patterns the masculine Remzi and the feminine Remziye/Remzija became personal names; Bosnian records show local spellings such as Remzija among Muslim families. The name is not a Qur'anic term but is etymologically grounded in Arabic lexicon and historically attested via Ottoman-era name lists and regional civil records. It carries aesthetic and metaphorical implications — someone who is emblematic or representative. Related regional forms include [[Remziye]] (Turkish) and [[Remzī]]/Remzi (male). Remzija is particularly rare today and is valued for its distinctiveness and classical-rooted meaning.
