Meaning and origin
Jeremiah means "Yahweh will exalt" (from Hebrew roots rum, "to exalt," and Yah, referring to the Hebrew God); some sources render it "Yahweh loosens" or "God will uplift.".
Jeremiah gave English the word "jeremiad" (via French jérémiade), meaning a long, mournful complaint or harangue -- a rare case of a given name generating a common noun still in active use.
Documented origin: Hebrew, from the Old Testament prophet's name.
