Jeremia is English, Hebrew in Origin.
Jeremia is the German-, Dutch-, and Scandinavian-form of a biblical name derived from Hebrew Yirmeyahu/Yirmiyahu, meaning “Yahweh will exalt” or “the Lord raises.” Through Greek Ieremías and Latin Ieremias/Hieremias, it spread across Christian Europe. Best known via the Old Testament prophet, the Jeremia shape was reinforced by Luther’s German Bible and Nordic translations, mirroring the title of the Book of Jeremiah (Jeremia) in those languages.
Used since the Middle Ages and favored in Protestant regions after the Reformation, Jeremia enjoys steady but moderate use in Germanic and Nordic countries and remains rare in English contexts. Related forms include Jeremiah (English), Jeremias (German, Portuguese, Spanish), Jérémie/Jérémy (French), Geremia (Italian), Jeremi (Polish), and Ieremia (Romanian). Nicknames and diminutives include Jerry, Jem, and Jere.
