Question 2

What does the name Jeremiah mean?

Accepted Answer

Jeremiah is a name of Hebrew origin: "Yahweh will exalt," from Yirmeyahu, the prophet whose laments gave the English language a word for a long, mournful complaint; Puritans loved it, the frontier kept it, and it outlasted its 1970s revival cousin Jeremy. Weighty, warm, and fully modern in feel. See the full Jeremiah page for its popularity history.
