History and Origin
Jeremiah is a male given name meaning "Yhwh will raise", and having its origin in ancient Hebrew. Jeremy and Jerry are English-language names derived from it, and Jeremias is a form that it takes in some Romance languages.
Those bearing the name include:
Biblical name (meaning ‘appointed by God’ in Hebrew) borne by the great Hebrew prophet of the 7th–6th centuries BC, whose story, prophecies of judgement, and lamentations are recorded in the book of the Bible that bears his name. The Book of Lamentations is also attributed to him; in this he bewails the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple by the Babylonians in 587 BC. Despite the gloomy subject-matter of these texts, the name enjoyed some popularity among Puritans and Christian fundamentalists, partly perhaps because Jeremiah also preached reconciliation with God after his wrath was assuaged. In Ireland and Scotland it has been used as an Anglicized form of Diarmaid and Diarmad (see Dermot).
