Jeronyma is Greek in Origin.
Jeronyma is a rare feminine form of Jerome, ultimately from Greek Hierónymos (hieros “sacred” + onoma “name”), via Latin Hieronymus and Romance adaptations. The spelling with y echoes Central European orthographies and occasional early-modern records; it parallels Spanish and Portuguese Jerónima and Czech Jeronýma, while remaining uncommon in English-speaking contexts.
Use of the name in Iberian and colonial circles reflected veneration of St. Jerome; notable bearers include the Spanish nun Sor Jerónima de la Asunción (16th–17th c.) and the Colombian mystic Jerónima Nava y Saavedra. Variants and cognates: Jerónima/Jeronima (Spanish), Jerônima (Portuguese), Jeronýma (Czech), Hieronima (Polish), Italian Geronima and Girolama. Catalan uses Jerònima; related masculine forms are Jerónimo/Jerônimo and Jerome. Meaning centers on “holy/sacred name.” Nicknames may include Jero, Nima, or Roni.
Jeronyma doesn't appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. Names like this are usually very rare, tied to a particular region or tradition, or freshly invented. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
