History & Origin

Jerame looks and sounds like a blend of two established names. Jerome descends from Greek Hieronymos, 'sacred name', carried by the great biblical scholar Saint Jerome; Jeremy traces to Hebrew for 'Yahweh will exalt'. Jerame fuses their sounds into a fresh, phonetic spelling.

It appears in American records mainly from about 1970 into the twenty-tens, with a small peak at the end of the seventies. It has never been common and reads as an inventive variant rather than a traditional form.

Did you know? Jerame is a 1970s coinage on familiar J- names; it stayed rare, peaking at only a few dozen boys a year around 1979.
