History & Origin

Jeromey is a folk respelling that borrows the look of Jerome while keeping the sound of Jeremy, the biblical prophet's name from the Hebrew for 'appointed by God'. Such creative spellings were common in the nineteen-seventies. The result reads familiar aloud but distinctive on paper.

It stayed uncommon, reaching only a couple dozen boys a year around 1975 and fading after. A boy named Jeromey then is in his late forties now.

Did you know? Jeromey looks like Jerome but sounds like Jeremy, blending a 'sacred name' spelling with the prophet Jeremiah's 'appointed by God' on the tongue.
