Konekochan said: Also, Remillia's French ? How come ?
Someone's head canon. There is very little canon about Scarlet Devil Mansion and its inhabitants prior to coming to Gensokyo. Remilia is not a real name; but, the short of it - "Remi" - is real and is also French. Flandre is a French rendering of the region of Belgium known as Flanders. The word "Patchouli" is Tamil, but Remilia's nickname for her "Pache" is considered a French variant of the Slavic Pach.

Except that "Remi" is a male first name, that's acually written "Rémi" and that there's no female counterpart. "Patche/Patchy" certainly sounds like "Patxi", but that's only a coincidence. And that's not a French first name, but a Basque first name... a male one, again.
Whatever, we will never know how ZUN came up with these names anyway.
