The word 'Remus' comes from the story of Romulus and Remus who were raised by wolves. They then went on the build Rome, but in a fight over naming it, Romulus killed Remus.

The word 'Lupin' comes from the word 'lupine', meaning wolflike.

Given that Remus Lupin is a werewolf, JKR was very clever with the naming!
