Jeremy

   A male given name from Hebrew, English form of Jeremiah. Also used to anglicize Irish Diarmaid (Dermot).

   Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet.

   He had the name of Jeremy given to him, because Jeremiah, as his father said, was a family name; and there was an advantage in curtailing a syllable, and in showing a preference towards the names of the New Testament over those of the old.

   Fry: You don't meet many American Jeremies, do you? Have you ever met an American Jeremy? Clarkson: No, it's too complicated. There's three syllables.
