How to Pronounce Jaremy
Pronounced JAIR-uh-mee /ΛdΚΙr.Ι.mi/Low
Meaning: Jaremy is an a-spelled form of Jeremy, the English form of the Hebrew Yirmeyahu, understood as 'Yahweh will exalt' or 'appointed by God.' The prophet Jeremiah bears the fuller version. Swapping the first e for an a is a spelling variation, and the inherited meaning stays that of the biblical parent.Low

History & Origin
Jaremy is simply Jeremy written with an a, keeping the name of the biblical prophet Jeremiah and its Hebrew sense 'Yahweh will exalt.' The variant spelling belongs to a late-century American taste for re-spelled familiar names rather than a separate origin.
Jaremy appeared only lightly in the American records around 1991, reaching about fourteen boys a year in this spelling while Jeremy remained common. A boy named Jaremy then would be in his mid-thirties today.
