Meaning & origin
Jeromy is a modern respelling of the classic name Jeremy, first recorded in 1967. Its peak year was 1976, and it has been falling in popularity since 1985. In 2025, it ranked 10,695, with about 1 in every 284,679 male births receiving the name. The name reflects a trend of phonetic spelling variations that emerged in the mid-20th century. Jeromy has never been among the top 1000 names and has no strong association with any particular U.S. state. Its trajectory suggests a quiet, steady decline, though for some parents, the distinctive spelling may offer a fresh twist on a familiar biblical name.
Jeromy is a modern spelling variant of Jeremy, the English form of the Hebrew name Yirmiyahu. The name Jeremy gained popularity in England after the Protestant Reformation, and Jeromy emerged as a respelling in the mid-20th century. Its usage peaked in the 1970s in the United States.
