Irmias
A boy's name of Hebrew origin with 7 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Among U.S. boy's names, Irmias is not in the current national top 1,000. In fact, it is among the rarest names in the SSA dataset — a choice that signals bold individuality.
With records spanning 2019 to 2019, Irmias has a focused history that reflects a particular moment in naming culture rather than a centuries-old tradition.
Irmias is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Irmias is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant of Jeremias — the Latin and Spanish form of Jeremiah — meaning 'God will uplift' or 'appointed by God.' The name traces back to the Biblical prophet Jeremiah, one of the major prophets of the Old Testament.
This spelling variant, with its Ir- opening instead of Jer-, may reflect phonetic shifts in certain Latin American or Eastern European communities. Irmias carries deep Biblical weight while feeling unusually rare in English-speaking contexts.
EtymologyShow more
Names travel. They cross oceans, change spelling, shift pronunciation, and accumulate new associations with each culture that adopts them. Irmias is rooted in the Hebrew tradition, but its presence in American naming since 2019 means it has been shaped by English phonetics, local customs, and the cultural context of the families who chose it.
Irmias’s rarity (7 recorded births) may indicate it is strongly tied to a specific cultural community or family tradition, rather than part of the broader American naming mainstream.
