Meaning & origin
Jerimie is a rare spelling variant of Jeremy that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1971. It saw its highest usage in 1976, when it peaked in popularity. The name has remained stable in usage over the years, never breaking into national rankings. As a modern respelling of a classic biblical name, Jerimie offers a distinctive twist on the familiar Jeremy.

Parents choosing Jerimie opt for individuality while maintaining a connection to a timeless name.
Jerimie is a spelling variant of Jeremy, which itself is an English form of the Hebrew name Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah), meaning 'God will exalt' or 'God will uplift.'
