Jereny is in Origin.

Jereny is a modern respelling of Jeremy, itself the English vernacular form of the biblical Jeremiah. The lineage runs from Hebrew Yirmeyahu (shortened Yirmeya), through Greek Ieremias and Latin Ieremias, into medieval English. The name’s meaning is commonly glossed as “Yahweh will exalt,” “Yahweh uplifts,” or, more broadly, “appointed by God,” reflecting the prophet’s calling in the Hebrew Bible.

While Jeremy enjoyed marked popularity in Britain and North America from the 1960s through the 1980s, Jereny appears in contemporary records as a rare, stylistic variant that preserves the same three-syllable cadence while offering a distinctive look. Related forms include Jeremiah, Jeremias/Jeremías, and the European vernaculars Jérémy (French), Jeremi (Polish), and Ieremias (Greek). English spelling variants of Jeremy - Jeramy, Jeromy, Jeramie, and Jeremie - sit alongside diminutives such as Jerry, Jem, Jere, and Remy. Jereny, typically masculine, shares the traditional meaning of its parent name.
