Jeremias is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Jeremias cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #835 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2019. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Jeremias, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Jeremias seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jeremias was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
250 babies were named Jeremias in 2022 - that's 1 in 645,704 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Jeremias ranked 852 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
You may not know anyone named Jeremias, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 25 states are home to men and boys named Jeremias. (To be fair, 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 entirely possible that there are still a few men and boys named Jeremias living in one state or another. If your name is Jeremias and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Texas, which has the most people named Jeremias relative to the population, you still have to ask 17,139 men and boys their names before you hear Jeremias as an answer just once.
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 eight letters, the name Jeremias is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 10.1% of all boys’ names start with a J, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the boys’ names that begin with the letter J, the name James is the most common.
If your name is Jeremias 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...
