History & Origin
Jerimie is a respelling of Jeremy, the English form of Jeremiah, from Hebrew Yirmeyahu, 'Yahweh will exalt.' The unusual -imie ending suggests a phonetic or mistaken spelling rather than an established form. It appears faintly in United States records from the early 1970s and never spread beyond a handful of entries in any year.
Because it reads as an off-spelling of Jeremy, Jerimie carries low confidence as a stand-alone name and is a likely artifact. A boy recorded this way in the 1970s would be in his fifties now; parents who want the name use Jeremy or Jeremiah.
