覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Jeremias は Jeremiah や Jeremy と同系の人名で、聖書では預言者エレミヤを指す形として覚える。Jeremias was a biblical prophet のように大文字で人名として使われ、the book of Jeremias、Jeremias's warnings という連語で人物・書・警告を結び付けると定着しやすい。
Connect Jeremias with the better-known English forms Jeremiah and Jeremy. In biblical contexts, it identifies the prophet traditionally associated with warnings, lamentation, and a scriptural book, so remember the cluster “the prophet Jeremias,” “the book of Jeremias,” and “Jeremias’s warnings.” The capital letter is important because this is a personal name, not a common noun. Recognizing the shared opening Jerem- also helps you group the related name forms without treating them as different historical figures automatically.
