Jeramey is English in Origin.

Jeramey is a modern American respelling of Jeremy, itself the English vernacular form of the biblical Jeremiah. The name ultimately traces from Hebrew Yirmeyahu/Yirmiyahu (“Yahweh will exalt,” often rendered “appointed by God”), passing through Greek Ieremias and Latin Ieremias, and into Middle English via French Jérémie/Jeremie. The spelling Jeramey preserves the familiar three-syllable pronunciation like Jeremy while signaling a contemporary, customized style.

In use, Jeremiah was favored in Jewish and Christian communities, then surged among English Puritans in the 17th century; Jeremy emerged as the everyday English form and rose widely in the 20th century. Jeramey appears in U.S. records mostly from the 1970s–1990s and remains uncommon today. Related variants include Jeremy, Jeramy, Jeremie/Jérémie, Jeramie, Jereme, and Jeromy; short forms include Jerry, Jem, and sometimes Remy. For parents, Jeramey offers biblical depth with a distinctive twist.
