History and Origin
Jeremy, Jeremie, or Jeremi is a masculine given name. It is an English-language name derived from the diminutive and anglicized form of the biblical Hebrew name Jeremiah, the major prophet of the Hebrew Bible. In use since the Middle Ages, particularly the 13th century, the name has had several meanings that have been cited historically, including: God exalts; the Lord loosens; one appointed by God; and the Lord will set free. The prophet Jeremiah is also briefly referred to as "Jeremy" retrospectively in parts of the King James Version of the New Testament (KJV sample: Matthew 27:9).
English: Anglicized form, used in the Authorized Version of the New Testament (Matthew 2: 17; 27: 9), of the biblical name Jeremiah. It is a vernacular derivative of the Latin (Vulgate) form of the name, Jeremias, which in turn is from Greek Iēremaias.
