Jermey

Jermey is a masculine given name. It is a variant spelling of Jeremy, which in turn derives from the Hebrew name Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah). The traditional meaning associated with the root is that "Yahweh will exalt" or "God will uplift."

Etymology and evolution: The name Jeremiah appears in the Hebrew Bible as a prophet. In Latin and some European languages, the form Jeremias existed; from these roots, the English forms Jeremy and Jeremiah developed. The shortened form Jeremy later became a common given name, and Jermey represents a phonetic variant or personal spelling choice.

Usage and distribution: Jermey is primarily found in English-speaking communities as a rare variant rather than a standard form. It is more likely to appear in modern baby-name lists or genealogical records where families choose unconventional spellings to preserve heritage or create distinctiveness.

Notable people: There are no widely documented public figures with the spelling Jermey in major reference sources. The form is typically encountered among individuals with the more common Jeremy/Jeremiah spellings.

Variant spellings: Jermey is related to Jeremy, Jeremias, Jeremiah, and other variants. In practice, usage varies by family, region, and era.
