About Jeremias
This international variant of the popular Jeremiah refreshes the Old Testament name by lending it the stylish -s ending of Silas, Ozias, and Amias. Popular in Czechia and Puerto Rico, Jeremias entered the US Top 1000 for the first time in 2016.
Pronounced as yeh-reh-MEE-as in German, YEH-reh-mee-ahs in Finnish, kheh-reh-MEE-as in Spanish, and zheh-reh-MEE-as in Portuguese, it is possible English speakers may choose to use the jeh-reh-MIE-us pronunciation.
The name had lingered towards the very bottom of the US charts until 2024 when it became a fast rising choice, climbing more than 180 places in a year. Chosen for 314 babies, popular short forms include Jarkko, Jere, Jarmo, Jez, and Jem, though Remi could work too.
Pronounced jer-uh-MY-us.
As of October 2026, Jeremias ranked #854 for boys in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #798 for boys in 2024.
