Meaning

Jeremiah is a american name meaning “YHWH has uplifted”.

History

Though traditionally a male name in English-speaking countries, Jeremiah is sometimes used for females as a modern twist. The name is of Hebrew origin, associated with the Biblical prophet Jeremiah, who is known for his prophetic writings and laments over Jerusalem. The name gained traction in the U.S., particularly during the late 20th century, as parents sought unique biblical names or gender-neutral options for their children.
