Jeromyah is Hebrew in Origin.

Jeromyah is a modern English respelling of Jeremiah, ultimately from Hebrew Yirmeyahu/Yirmeyah, a theophoric name meaning Yahweh exalts, often interpreted as appointed by God or Yahweh will raise. The -yah ending foregrounds the divine element (Yah), while the internal -o- nods to Jeremy/Jeromy, creating a phonetic bridge between traditional Jeremiah and its diminutive Jeremy.

Usage traces to the biblical prophet Jeremiah (7th–6th c. BCE), whose name entered English via Latin Jeremias and French Jérémie. Both Jeremiah and Jeremy saw waves of Anglophone popularity from Puritan times to late 20th‑century revivals. Established variants include Jeremiah, Jeremias, Jeremia (German/Scandinavian), Jeremie/Jeremy, Jérémy (French), Jeremías (Spanish), and modern spellings Jeramiah, Jerimiah, Jermiah. Jeromyah is rare in 21st‑century American records, prized for distinctiveness and sacred resonance. Common short forms are Jerry, Jem, Jere, Remy, and Miah; feminine or unisex counterparts appear as Jeremia or Miah.
