What is the meaning of the name jerami ?

The baby name jerami is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒɛrəmi/ (JER-ə-mee).

jerami is Hebrew in Origin.

Jerami is a modern English respelling of Jeremy, the Anglicized form of Jeremiah, from Hebrew Yirmeyahu/Yirmeya, combining the theophoric element -yahu (“Yahweh”) with a verb root often glossed as “to exalt” or “to appoint.” The name therefore carries meanings such as “Yahweh exalts” or “appointed by God.” It entered English via Old French Jérémie, became common in medieval England, and enjoyed renewed favor after the Reformation’s embrace of biblical names; contemporary creative spellings like Jerami have appeared in the late 20th and 21st centuries.

Closely related forms include Jeremy, Jérémie/Jeremie (French), Jeramy/Jeramie/Jerramy (English variants), Jeremiah (English biblical form), Jeremias (Latin, Spanish, Portuguese, German), Jeremia (Scandinavian, Finnish, German), Geremia (Italian), and Ieremia (Romanian). Though etymologically distinct, speakers of Indonesian may note that jerami means “straw,” an unrelated word that lends the name a secondary, culture-specific association.
