History & Origin
Jerremy is a variant spelling of Jeremy, which comes through the Hebrew Jeremiah, meaning the Lord exalts or God will raise up. Jeremiah was the Old Testament prophet, and Jeremy was hugely popular in the later twentieth century. Embellished spellings with a doubled r, like Jerremy, ride that wave and appear in United States birth records from the nineteen-seventies.
It stayed rare in this spelling, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its high, so a Jerremy from then would be in his forties today. The standard Jeremy remains far more familiar, but Jerremy carries the same exalting biblical meaning.
