Jeremias

Jeremias is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, the Greek and Latin form of Jeremiah, from the Hebrew Yirmeyahu meaning "God will uplift" or "God will exalt." Jeremiah was one of the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible.

Jeremias is the preferred form of this name across Portugal, Spain, Germany, and much of Latin America, giving it a distinctly international character. In the United States, it has grown within Hispanic communities as a formal, dignified alternative to the more casual Jeremy or Jeremiah.
