Jeremaine Origin and Meaning

The name Jeremaine is a boy's name.

Jeremaine is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Jermaine, which itself gained prominence in the United States following the fame of Jermaine Jackson of the Jackson 5 in the 1970s. The original Jermaine is thought to be a variant of the Germanic name Germain, meaning 'brother' or referring to someone from Germania. The addition of 'e' after 'Jer-' in Jeremaine may reflect influence from the biblical name Jeremy (from Hebrew, meaning 'appointed by God'). This spelling variation emerged in usage records during the late 20th century, though it has remained less common than Jermaine. The name exemplifies how alternative spellings can personalize established names while maintaining their basic pronunciation and cultural associations. Usage patterns show it appearing across diverse communities in the United States.
