יִרְמִיָ֣ה
𐤉𐤓𐤌𐤉𐤄
Yiremeyah
Jeremiah
A personal name meaning 'Yahweh will exalt' or 'Yahweh exalts'. Used as the proper name for several individuals in the Hebrew Bible, most notably the prophet active during the late monarchic and early exilic period. The name incorporates a theophoric element ('Yah', referring to the Israelite deity Yahweh) and a verb meaning 'raise up' or 'exalt.' The semantic range primarily includes the proper name designation, with some variation in form (יִרְמְיָה and יִרְמְיָהוּ), but always as a personal name, not a common noun or verb.
