The history of the last name Jeremie

The surname Jeremie has its origins in France, tracing back to the late medieval period around the 13th century. It is derived from the French given name Jérémie, which in turn is derived from the biblical Hebrew name Yirməyāhū, meaning "Yahweh has uplifted" or "appointed by Yahweh."

The earliest recorded instances of the surname Jeremie in France can be found in documents from the Normandy region, specifically in the area around the town of Caen. It is believed that the name may have been introduced to the region by Norman settlers who had connections to the clergy or religious orders.

During the Middle Ages, the surname Jeremie appeared in various records and manuscripts, including tax rolls, censuses, and parish registers. One notable reference is found in the Livre des Bourgeois de Rouen, a registry of citizens in the city of Rouen, where several individuals bearing the surname Jeremie were listed in the 14th century.

In the 16th century, the surname Jeremie gained prominence when a French Protestant reformer named Jean Jeremie (c. 1530-1592) became a prominent figure in the Protestant Reformation movement. He authored several theological works and was actively involved in the spread of Calvinism in France.

Another notable figure with the surname Jeremie was Jacques Jeremie (1570-1638), a French lawyer and jurist who served as the Lieutenant-General of the Admiralty in Normandy. He was instrumental in codifying maritime laws and regulations in the region.

During the 17th century, the Jeremie surname gained a presence in the French colonies of the West Indies, particularly in the island of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti). One of the earliest recorded instances was Jean-Baptiste Jeremie (1640-1720), a French colonist and landowner who established a plantation on the island.

In the 18th century, the Jeremie surname was further spread through the voyages and explorations of French sailors and explorers. One such individual was Louis-François Jeremie (1738-1804), a French naval officer and explorer who participated in several expeditions to the Pacific Ocean and the Northwest Coast of North America.

Throughout history, the surname Jeremie has also been associated with various place names, particularly in France and its former colonies. For example, the town of Jérémie in Haiti was named after a French colonist named Louis Jeremie, who was granted land in the area in the late 17th century.
