Jeroen is Dutch, Greek in Origin.
Jeroen is the standard Dutch form of Jerome, ultimately from Greek Hieronymos (hieros “holy, sacred” + onoma “name”), yielding the meaning “sacred name.” It entered the Low Countries via Latin Hieronymus in ecclesiastical use and settled into the modern Dutch spelling in Middle Dutch and Early Modern periods.
Usage spread in medieval Flanders and the Netherlands through the cult of Saint Jerome, the Bible translator, and the name has remained familiar, with a strong revival and peak in the 1970s–1990s. Notable bearers include actor Jeroen Krabbé and composer Jeroen Tel. Cross-language equivalents and variants include Jerome (English), Jérôme (French), Jerónimo/Jerônimo (Spanish/Portuguese), Geronimo and Girolamo (Italian), Hieronymus (German/Latin), Hieronim (Polish), Jeronim (Croatian/Serbian), and Jeroni (Catalan), plus archaic Dutch spellings Jeronimus and Jheronimus. Dutch diminutive: Jeroentje.
