What does the name Jeremih mean?
Jeremih is a spelling of Jeremy, pronounced the same way, so it shares Jeremy's meaning and origin.
Jeremy is the older English form of Jeremiah, the biblical prophet; the Wycliffite Bible of 1395 used Jeremy. DMNES and Wikipedia derive the Hebrew Yirmeyahu from a verb meaning 'to exalt, to be high' and the divine name, so 'God exalts'. DMNES notes that Jeremy was sometimes used for the Irish name Diarmaid and confused with Jerome. Wiktionary describes it as the English form of Jeremiah.
יִרְמְיָהוּ (Biblical Hebrew, “Yirmeyahu”)רוּם (Hebrew, “to be high, exalt”)
How sure is this? Probable. 'God exalts' is the usual reading of Yirmeyahu.
