Lupus is the Latin for wolf; Lupin is similar to the
English word lupine, meaning wolf-like.  Remus is one
of the twins (Romulus and Remus) who were suckled by a
she-wolf and are supposedly founders of Rome, which
was supposedly named after Romulus.  Maybe JKR will
give Remus Lupin a twin brother Romulus.  Or maybe
that would be too precious.

Of course, he received his name at birth and was then
bitten by a werewolf as a child.  Perhaps his parents
should have thought better of the name they gave him. 
If ever someone's destiny were in his name...
