Origin of the name Remez

The origin of the name Remez is unclear. However ths absence of clarity is well compensated by the activity of people having this name that was reflected in the names of schools, streets and entire micro-districts in the towns of Israel.
The main "responsible" for such state of affairs is the famous Zionist activist David Remez. He was born in 1886 in the Mogilev gubernia. The name of his father was Drabkin, however having moved in 1913 to Palestine (during that time there was a real war in Palestine for the introduction of Hebrew) David changed the name to the more "Hebrew" one - Remez (apparently this was the name of his mother).
Remez means a clue, innuendo in Hebrew.
There are two versions of the name origin. One from the Hebrew word mentioned above, the other from the name of the Belorussian shtetl Remezy.
