Meaning & origin
Jeromey is a phonetic spelling variant of Jerome, first recorded in the United States in 1970. Its peak year of use was 1975, though even then it remained rare and never ranked in the national top 1000. The name derives from the Greek Hieronymos, meaning 'sacred name', and was borne by Saint Jerome, the 4th-century scholar who translated the Bible into Latin. In recent decades, Jeromey has seen stable but very low usage, with no recorded instances in top states. Parents who choose Jeromey often appreciate its connection to the classic Jerome while giving it a slightly more modern, distinctive spelling.
