History & Origin

Jeramiah is a variant spelling of Jeremiah — Hebrew Yirmeyahu, 'Yahweh will exalt' or 'Yahweh will raise up' — the major Old Testament prophet. The -a- spelling reflects modern phonetic styling of a deeply rooted biblical name.

It registers thinly as a variant. Divinely rooted, prophetic, and individually spelled.

Did you know? Jeremiah, the source of Jeramiah, is called 'the weeping prophet' for the sorrow of his book — and gives us the word 'jeremiad', a long lament about the state of the world.
