Jaremy

English form of Jeremiah

"appointed by God"

Jaremy Origin and Meaning

The name Jaremy is a boy's name.

Jaremy is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Jeremy, which comes from the Hebrew name Yirmeyahu, meaning 'God will uplift' or 'appointed by God.' This alternative spelling gives the traditional biblical name a more distinctive look while maintaining its familiar pronunciation. The name shares roots with the biblical prophet Jeremiah. The spelling variation with an 'a' may reflect Eastern European influences or could be a modern creative adaptation. While significantly less common than the standard Jeremy spelling, Jaremy has appeared occasionally in naming records since the mid-20th century. The name carries the same strong religious heritage as its more conventional counterpart but offers parents a way to honor tradition while adding a subtle uniqueness to their child's name.
