Hierome Origin and Meaning

The name Hierome is a boy's name.

Hierome is a masculine name that serves as a rare variant of Jerome, which derives from the Greek Hieronymos meaning 'sacred name.' This uncommon spelling reflects older French or medieval European naming traditions. The most famous Jerome was Saint Jerome, the 4th-century scholar who translated the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate). Hierome preserves more of the name's Greek origins in its spelling while maintaining similar pronunciation to the more common Jerome. This variant is exceedingly rare in contemporary usage but may appeal to parents seeking a name with classical roots and distinctive spelling. It carries scholarly and religious associations while offering an unusual alternative to more familiar forms.
