What is the meaning of the name Jeremi ?

The baby name Jeremi is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒɛrəmi/ (JEH-ruh-mee).

Jeremi is Hebrew in Origin.

Jeremi is the Polish and broader Slavic form of Jeremy, ultimately derived from the biblical Jeremiah. The name goes back to Hebrew Yirmeyahu/Yirmiyahu, commonly interpreted as "Yahweh will exalt" or "the Lord exalts," transmitted into Europe through the Greek Ieremias and Latin Ieremias and reinforced by Christian liturgy and scripture. As such, Jeremi carries associations of divine support, steadfastness, and prophetic voice.

In Poland the form Jeremi has documented use since the early modern period; a noted bearer is Jeremi Wiśniowiecki, 17th-century nobleman and father of King Michał Korybut. Today the name appears across Central and Eastern Europe and occasionally elsewhere as a streamlined alternative to Jeremy. Close cognates and variants include Jeremy and Jeremiah (English), Jerry and Jem (diminutives), Jérémie (French), Jeremie, Jeremia (German/Scandinavian), Jeremias (Spanish/Portuguese/German/Scandinavian), Jeremiáš (Czech), Jeremiasz (Polish), Ieremia (Romanian), and Hebrew Yirmiyahu.
