Etymology

Remus' name may have originally meant “twin”, from Old Latin *jemos (“twin”), from Proto-Italic *jemos, from Proto-Indo-European *yemHós (“twin”). The initial r- was probably introduced to make the name sound more like Romulus.
Cognate with Sanskrit यम (yamá, “twin”), and related to Old Norse Ymir and Latin geminus.
