覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
人名なので通常は Jeremy と大文字で書く。旧約聖書の Jeremiah に対応する英語の男性名で、ヘブライ語の「神が高める」という意味につなげる。Jeremy's notes のように所有格では末尾に 's を付ける。愛称 Jerry とは形が大きく異なるので、正式な呼び名と愛称を組で覚える。
Treat Jeremy as a person’s name and begin it with a capital J. Connect it with Jeremiah, the longer biblical form, and with the traditional Hebrew meaning “God raises up” or “God appoints.” In a sentence, its role is often clear from patterns such as “Jeremy is training” or the possessive “Jeremy’s notes.” Jerry may be used as a familiar short form, although its spelling looks quite different, so learning Jeremy, Jeremiah, and Jerry as a small name group makes recall easier.

jeremy の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ヘブライ語 Yirmeyahu（ヤハウェが高める・任命する）に由来。yarum（高める）+ Yah（神）が語根。旧約聖書の預言者エレミヤの英語形。中世ラテン語 Jeremias を経て英語化。関連名：Jeremiah（正式形）、Jerry（愛称）。神に選ばれた者という意味。
Jeremy developed as an English form of Jeremiah, the name of a biblical prophet. Jeremiah ultimately comes from Hebrew Yirmeyahu, a name traditionally interpreted as “Yahweh raises up” or “Yahweh appoints.” It passed through Greek and Latin forms, including Jeremias, before becoming established in English. Jeremy is now used as an independent male given name, while Jeremiah remains a related longer form.
