Jarmo

Jarmo is a Finnish masculine given name, functioning as the Finnish form of Jeremiah, which derives from the Hebrew name Yirmiyahu, meaning something along the lines of God will raise up or God will exalt. It entered Finnish use as a vernacularized adaptation of the biblical name, fitting the phonological patterns of the Finnish language. Related forms in other traditions include Jeremiah in English, Jeremias in Spanish and Portuguese, and Jere, which is used as a short form in Finnish itself.
