Jeremia is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Jeremia in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Jeremia in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Jeremia by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Jeremia ranks at #6,472. That means there are 6,471 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Jeremia.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Jeremia. Boys named Jeremia have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,822 Jeremia ranked higher than ever before in 1978. By comparison, there have been 94 years in which the first name Jeremia has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2014. In general, parents name their sons Jeremia only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jeremia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Jeremia continues to be a precious jewel: 6 newborns were named Jeremia that year, ranking #9,177 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Jeremia, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
If you ever wanted to meet a boy or man named Jeremia, you have limited options – because boys with this beautiful name are currently only living in . However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Jeremia living in one state or another. (If your name is Jeremia and you live outside of , we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 2,333,097 boys and men would turn around if you called out the name Jeremia. So if your name is Jeremia, it’s very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Jeremia already makes you quite special.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is the most popular first letter for boys’ names. 10.1% of all common boys’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in boys’ names is A.
With seven letters, the name Jeremia has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

If your name is Jeremia and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
