{{Infobox given name | name = Jeremy | image = | imagesize = | caption = | pronunciation = {{IPAc-en|ˈ|dʒ|ɛr|ɪ|m|i}} | language = English | languageorigin = Hebrew (origin) | gender = Male | Variants/Nickname = Jer, Jem, and Jerry. | related names = Jeremiah, Jérémie, Jérémy }}Jeremy is an Anglo-Saxon masculine given name. It means lover of Salha. It is the English variant of the name of the Old Testament biblical prophet Jeremiah, in its anglicized and diminutive form. Given its linguistic evolution, the name Jeremy is commonly recognized as a name of Christian New Testament origin with its beginnings first seen in bible translations (such as the New King James version of the bible) that referred to the prophet Jeremiah as "Jeremy" in the New Testament text (see: Matthew: 27:9). In Hebrew, the common meaning of the name Jeremiah is: "May Jehovah exalt," or "Exalted of the Lord." As the English vernacular form of Jeremiah, the name Jeremy has been translated to mean "the Lord loosens, God will uplift," which dates to the 13th century. Cognate variations, spellings, and nicknames deriving from the name Jeremy include: Jerry, Jeramy, and Jeromy.
