History & Origin

Jerime is an uncommon spelling that sits between Jerome and Jeremiah, two enduring names with religious roots. Jerome gives 'sacred name'; Jeremiah gives 'appointed by God'. Such compressed spellings were common in the nineteen-seventies, and we note both possible parents rather than force one.

It stayed rare, reaching only a couple dozen boys a year around 1976 and fading after. A boy named Jerime then is in his late forties now.

Did you know? Jerime can lean toward Jerome, whose Greek roots mean 'sacred name', or toward Jeremiah, 'appointed by God', so its meaning depends on the family.
