Jeremiah however was the name my parents indended to give me when I was born, but when the nurse asked my dad what my name would be she wrote down Jeremy, even though he clearly stated Jeremiah. I suppose my parents figured Jeremy was a derivative of Jeremiah and its shorter, so it makes for signature convenience. So Jeremy stuck.
JEREMIAH
From the Hebrew name יִרְמְיָהוּ (Yirmiyahu) which meant "YAHWEH has uplifted". This was the name of one of the major prophets of the Old Testament, author of the Book of Jeremiah and (supposedly) the Book of Lamentations. He lived to see the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in the 6th century BC. In England, though the vernacular form Jeremy had been occasionally used since the 13th century, the form Jeremiah was not common until after the Protestant Reformation.

Of Hebrew Origin, meaning "appointed by God"
Guided by the sure and the true
What he promises he does
Willing to go that extra mile
Others think he has a great personality
Many see in him the power of love and faith
He will accomplish great things
He greets each day with joy and wonder

That came from a frame that Jess and I keep in our bathroom. When we first got married back in 2002 we went to Williamsburg, VA for our honeymoon and while there we went to Bush Gardens one day. There was a booth there that let you pick a picture and then put the meaning of your names side by side to each other. We picked a scene of the beach with ocean waves crashing, since we had been married on the beach with ocean waves crashing. Jess then picked a violet matte to frame the picture since that was the primary color of our wedding. Jessica's name means:
From Jessica, a name of Hebrew origin,
Meaning "wealthy one"
Fascinated by unexplored lands
She understands that everyone is not perfect
She is energetic in all that she pursues
A charitable, giving nature is what she has
She capitalizes on all her strengths
Overall, a very thoughtful person
A genuine and true friend.
I've tried to hang this picture in our bathroom wherever we go so we are reminded who we are and what are names mean every morning and evening when we wash our face and brush our teeth. I have found that we seem to be living out our name meaning a little more each day. Its quite fascinating actually.
