Strong's Lexicon Yeremay: Yeremay Original Word: יְרֵמַי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָרָה (yarah), meaning "to throw" or "to cast," combined with מַי (may), a shortened form of מַיִם (mayim), meaning "water." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yeremay in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a unique Hebrew name. However, names with similar theophoric elements, such as those beginning with "Ier-" (e.g., Ieremias for Jeremiah), may be of interest for comparative study. Usage: Yeremay is a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, often understood to mean "Yahweh throws" or "Yahweh hurls." It reflects a theophoric element, indicating a relationship or action attributed to Yahweh, the God of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect divine attributes or actions, serving as a reminder of God's presence and power in the lives of His people. The name Yeremay, with its connotation of divine action, would have been a testament to the belief in God's active role in the world. Names with theophoric elements were common, as they reinforced the covenant relationship between God and His people. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originof uncertain derivation Definition an Isr.
