Traditionally occupied by the higher-income bracket, the suburb has become regarded as the stereotypical retreat of the rich in popular New Zealand thought, and is therefore used as a name to describe this income group - usually in disparaging tones. The term "Remuera tractor", for example, is a common nickname for SUV vehicles.

The name Remuera is Maori, and was originally Remuwera, meaning burnt flax clothing.
