About Jeremy
This one-time trendy form of Jeremiah hovered just outside the Top 25 throughout the 1970s and 80s. Though off its peak, it's still in the Top 300 in the US for baby boys, and might be considered a modern classic.
Jeremy for boys#292 US
Scout's brother Jem in To Kill a Mockingbird was christened Jeremy Atticus Finch, Jem being a very appealing nickname. Jeremy Piven and Jeremy Renner are two current bearers.
Jeremy for girls
Did everybody forget that at the height of Jeremy's popularity in the 1970s and 80s, it started to be used for girls? We certainly did, but in 1976, the year Jeremy peaked, there were 126 baby girls named Jeremy in the US — and over 20,000 baby boys. Maybe not enough to make it a gender-neutral name, but fascinating nonetheless, especially as no baby girls were named Jeremy in the US last year.
Pronounced JER-uh-mee.
As of October 2026, Jeremy ranked #292 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #14 in 1976, Nameberry popularity #291.
