Meanings

A male given name: from a Hebrew word meaning “God is high.”.

Jeremiah (JERR-ə-MY-ə) is a male given name meaning "Yhwh will raise", and having its origin in ancient Hebrew. Jeremy and Jerry are English-language names derived from it, and Jeremias is a form that it takes in some Romance languages. Jeremiah is sometimes an Anglicised form of the Irish Diarmaid.
The name takes its popularity from the Hebrew prophet Jeremiah.

Masc. proper name, Old Testament prophet (compare jeremiad) who flourished c. 626-586 B.C.E., from Late Latin Jeremias, from Hebrew Yirmeyah, probably literally "may Jehovah exalt," but Klein suggests it also might be short for Yirmeyahu "the Lord casts, the Lord founds," and compares the first element in Jerusalem. The vernacular form in English was Jeremy.

God will raise up; God will set free.
