Yeremy Origin and Meaning

The name Yeremy is a boy's name of Russian origin.

Yeremy is a masculine name that represents a variation of Jeremy, which derives from the Hebrew name Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah), meaning "appointed by God" or "God will uplift." This spelling variation appears to incorporate elements of how the name is pronounced in some Spanish or Eastern European contexts, where the initial "J" might be pronounced as a "Y" sound. Yeremy offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Jeremy while maintaining the same essential pronunciation. The name is relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality while still being recognizable. Parents might choose this spelling to honor multicultural heritage or simply to provide their child with a more unique version of a classic biblical name.
