History & Origin

Jermie is best understood through Jeremy, the English form of the Hebrew prophet-name Jeremiah, 'the Lord will raise up'. Rather than the standard spelling, families wrote the everyday short form the way it sounds, and it also leans toward the popular Jermaine of the same years.

It was never more than a scattering, a couple dozen boys a year at its high around 1979, fading soon after. A Jermie from that peak is in his forties now, the name a casual seventies take on a much older original.

Did you know? Jermie reads as the spoken nickname for Jeremy written down as a full name, a common mid-century way of turning a short form into a birth name.
