History & Origin
Jeramyah is a modern American respelling of Jeremiah, from the Hebrew Yirmeyahu, 'Yahweh will exalt.' It appears in United States records from around 1998 and reached its small high near 2010, while Jeremiah itself was popular. Given to only a couple dozen boys a year, this spelling stayed rare.
A boy named Jeramyah near that peak is still young, part of the biblical-revival generation. It is a spelling variant rather than a new name; parents drawn to it usually keep the traditional Jeremiah spelling.
