- Jeremiah Meaning
- From the Hebrew name (Yirmiyahu) which meant " Yahweh has uplifted". This is the name of one of the major prophets of the Old Testament, the author of the Book of Jeremiah and (supposedly) the Book of Lamentations. He lived to see the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in the 6th century Bc. In England, though the vernacular form Jeremy had been occasionally used since the 13th century, the form Jeremiah was not common until after the Protestant Reformation. Jeremiah is derived from the older Hebrew name "Yirmeyah", itself derived from the Hebrew words "Yahweh", which means "God", and "ruwm", which means "to uplift or to lift up". The name means "lifted up by God".
