History & Origin

Jereme rests on Jeremy, from the prophet Jeremiah, Hebrew Yirmeyahu, 'Yahweh exalts'. Jeremy surged for boys in the 1970s and 80s, and spellings like Jereme, Jeramy and Jeremey appeared as parents personalized a popular sound. The meaning stays the scriptural one.

Its 1980 peak places it at the front of the Jeremy wave. Three syllables with a soft ending give it an easy, familiar sound. Jeremy remains the standard; Jereme is the rarer variant and reads early-eighties, not revived. Parents should note it is regularly misread back to Jeremy.

Did you know? Jereme peaked in 1980, when Jeremy was a top boys' name and unconventional spellings were spreading; a boy named Jereme then is now in his forties.
