Jeremiah: a name meaning "YHWH raises up" or "YHWH exalts," borne by several men: best known is the prophet, son of Hilkiah, from Anathoth (Jeremiah 1:1); in 2 Kings 23:31 and 24:18 another Jeremiah, of Libnah, grandfather of two kings.

The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels.
