Remus
[ˈriː.məs]Meaning
Latin Remus, twin brother of Romulus; maybe from a word for "twin"
Background Story
Remus is the Latin name of the twin brother of Romulus in Roman mythology, whose story tells of the founding of Rome; Romulus killed Remus. Latin Remus may have originally meant "twin", from Old Latin *jemos, Proto-Italic *jemos and Proto-Indo-European *yemHós, and the initial r- was probably introduced to make the name sound more like Romulus. It is cognate with Sanskrit yamá and related to Old Norse Ymir and Latin geminus. English has the name as a learned borrowing from Latin.
