Other Jeremys include Candice's crush from Phineas and Ferb. And the real name of The Scout from Team Fortress 2. And a Jeremy from the guess that kid CN bumper.

[@syria0110]

I've always associated the name Jeremy with guys that are in their 20s. I was surprised to see it referred to as an "old man" name

[@jeremyscungio16]

I'm 20 so I just assumed it was a not common name

[@JeremyWS]

My name is Jeremy. I'm not an old man, I'm only 33. In the US there are a lot of young men named Jeremy. It is actually a pretty common name here. There's even a phrase that goes with the name Jeremy, which goes "Leave it to a Jeremy." The phrase is used when someone (usually a man) says something very smart or solves a difficult problem. I liked this video, keep up the good work.

[@jeremyscungio16]

I'm 20 and I know a few jeremys. Both around my age

[@saulcontrerasOfficial]

I don't think I've ever met a Jeremy or hears the phrase and I live in the US.

[@DroneBeeStrike]

I always thought it was used to refer to people who only thought they were smart, you know like "Oh that guy is a total Jeremy, he makes up his own phrases. "

[@euphrates1624]

I was perplexed to hear that the name Jeremy isn't popular in the UK! It's still pretty common in the US. Kinda funny to say it sounds like an old man's name lol

I don't know if anyone else has pointed out yet that the "el" appears in a lot of names borrowed from Hebrew: Daniel(le), Raphael, Michael/Michelle, Nathaniel, etc.

[@WhizzKid2012]

It means God.

[@manlymannysmanymediocremem7026]

If you're interested in Hebrew names that mean the same thing check out osher, gil, ron, rina, renana, tzahala, simcha, and sason ( אושר, גיל, רון, רינה, רננה, צהלה, שמחה, וששון) that all pretty much mean happiness

[@KasumiRINA]

Technically, El is just a noun that means "God" and is even used for pagan gods, while YAH or JAH specifically refers to the non-pronounceable (generally forbidden to say in Judaism) four-letter name of God of Israel (same one Christians and Muslims worship). Usually transliterated as YHWH, and pronounced alternatively as Jehovah or Yahweh... unless you're reciting a Jewish prayer, where it would be replaced with "Adonai" (Lord) instead (literal interpretation of "do not say God's name in vain" leads to not saying it... at all. Went overboard much like keeping separate dishes for dairy and meat). Oh, in most English versions of the Bible, LORD (uppercase) specifically translates the Tetragrammaton use. Neat, huh? So yeah, both Jeremiah and Elisheba are Hebrew names that use roots from various names of God in Judaism. There's more than two, from Elohim (always plural word, even when referring to one entity, kinda like Seraphim or Cherubim) to Shaddai ("almighty") and Hashem (literally "the name")... Many of those are titles or epithets. For future reference, anything with EL or Jah/Yah/Yehu in it usually means something-God: ELisa or IsabEL, ELi, AriEL, GabriEL, MichaEL, RafaEL, SamuEl, IsraEL, EmmanuEL, ELizer (Lazarus) etc., then you get Yehoshua aka Joshua aka Jesus, which has the other root... bonus points for ELiJAH (Greek form is Elias), which combines both, and means "LORD is God". Just open Old Testament for a lot of ancient Hebrew names and New Testament for a mix of Aramaic and Greco-Roman... keep in mind titles of books of Prophets in Jewish Bible, like if there's a "book of DaniEL", well here's another Hebrew name.

[@modmaker7617]

Jahovah is incorrect as it's a mix between YHWH and the vowels in Adonai spoken in a Germanic accent. Using the English J-sound instead of a English Y-sound (in Eastern European languages J makes a Y-sound) and instead of a English W-sound it's a German W-sound which is a V-sound in English. Most scholars agree Yahweh is the most accurate name and it's similar to Yah.

[@KasumiRINA]

@@modmaker7617 I am not sure what you mean by "Eastern European languages" since obviously Polish is Slavic, while Romanian is in Latin group. Baltic and Finnish languages are completely different and Hungarian is not even in Indo-European family. Others like Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Belarusian use Cyrillic so for us J and Y are equally mystic letters, Jehovah is Ієгова/Иегова, and Yahweh is Яхве... So Eastern European is just geographic designation, not linguistic. And yeah, it was most likely Yah/Jah, with butchering the J pronunciation for, say, Rastafari, who read Jah as Jan, and not like Yah... it doesn't matter though since the point is the name being not pronounceable for a reason. I believe it is to avoid any pagan connotations where gods have human names.

[@modmaker7617]

@@KasumiRINA When I say, "Eastern European" I mostly mean Slavic. J in every Slavic language that uses the Latin alphabet (Polish, Czech, Slovak, Slovene & Croatian) is the English Y-sound. While the ones the use Cyrillic usually when transliterate using English but I prefer to transliterate them the Slavic Latin way. Interslavic (a conlang that mixes all the Slavic languages together) uses J for the English Y-sound. I'd transliterate Іeгова as "Iehova" and Яхве "Jachve" not as Yehovah or Yahweh. I know a lot about Slavic languages. Anyway, my point was that J and Y both represent the same sound in YHWH. Also the reason YHWH isn't pronounced isn't to not seem pagan but because the Jews traditionally decided it be disrespectful to say God's name and only refer to him by his title.

[@KasumiRINA]

@@modmaker7617 we probably SHOULD use J for some transliteration, either as Y or as Jay sound, because otherwise we end up with crap like Iuliia instead of Julia in passports (which have Latin names too). Tons of double "ii" stuff. Worst transliteration offender is Zaporizhzhia. But the way it is written isn't about how to pronounce it but to have an easy way to transliterate back. Double Ж becomes zhzh instead of... actually fitting G... as G stands for Ґ. The ban on saying God's name is not about respect, and not something they randomly decided... it's one of Ten Commandments, which are considered to be directly from God (tablets written in stone), unlike other laws that were written by men (on papyrus). Majority of OT laws were deliberately banning specific pagan practices to stand out. Example "don't boil a goat in its mother's milk", why such weirdly specific ban? Because it was an actual ritual one of local cultures produced, Yahweh was ALSO used as a name of an idol, and entire Jewish Bible story is to stop the people from worshiping idols. Hence the ban on not only name, but also imagery of God. Specifically, most pagan cultures believed that the idols - wooden, golden, or stone - were gods THEMSELVES. Inanimate things weren't used as symbols, but believed to have power on their own... it's a major element of why Babylonians moving idols to Babylon was such a big deal. They took people's gods. Jews were taught to not seek earthly things as artifacts and the very few they had (i.e. the Ark) were lost. And things like G-d spelling have very much to do with ritualistic superstitions to avoid offensive actions than any rational thought. Muslims have a very similar idea where "holy words" can't be written on floors or shoes, and items with God's name cannot be thrown away but have to be ritualistically burned. It's governed by primal fear of idolatry, not by respect.

[@AtarahDerek]

My name suggestion: *Noah.* Both the masculine name and the feminine name. More on that in a moment. Elizabeth - My God is an oath - from the Hebrew Eli, meaning "my God," and shava, meaning "to swear." Jeremy - the Lord loosens - from the Hebrew remayyah, meaning "looseness, slackness," and YHWH, the name of God. These names are actually opposite in their meaning. One means that God binds and the other means that God frees. Source: Strong's Exhaustive Concordance with Hebrew and Greek dictionaries, New American Standard Bible There are lots of examples of Hebrew name pairs that have opposing meanings. But my favorite is Noah. There is a masculine form of Noah, which means "rest," and a feminine form of Noah, which means "motion." That's my name suggestion. Hope it makes it into the polls.

[@PuzzledMonkey]

If you're interested in Hebrew names that mean almost the same thing as each other, check out Jonathan Nathaniel Netanyahu and John Edit: not to mention, the Israeli city of Netanya.

[@KasumiRINA]

Nathan and Nate too... My neigbour's cat was called Nafanya, which is a form of Nathaniel used in that Soviet cartoon about a brownie and his friend. Of course, russian Vanya, Ukrainian Ivan, Polish Jan, German Johann, French Jean, Spanish Juan, and Danish Hans and Johnny, are also all forms of Johanan. N ot surprising since generally, most names in Christian majority countries have either Hebrew or Greco-Roman roots.

[@jonathanmitchell2040]

While I agree with the other names, John has a different meaning that really isn't that close. A lot of baby name books add the word "gracious" to the definition of Jonathan (my own name) to try to build a connection that isn't actually there in Hebrew.

[@PuzzledMonkey]

@@jonathanmitchell2040 I did say "almost" 😉. Gift and grace are not the same thing, though Gracias does mean thank you in Spanish.

[@MasonGreenWeed]

@@KasumiRINA Arabic Yahya is yohanan name too

[@gilbregman4646]

In Hebrew, John and Jonathan are quite different. The meaning of Jonathan is "god gave" while the meaning of John, which in Hebrew is Yochanan, is "god pardoned". The name Nathan just means "gave".

[@Reichieru1]

I've always thought of the word cup to be a general word for anything you drink out of unless it's obviously a bottle or something, i.e. a mug is a type of cup.

[@KasumiRINA]

You can also carve enemies skull in a cup, and present it as a trophy i.e. arty biathlon World Cup for shooting at fleeing russian soldiers. It's quite a versatile word.

[@benjaminprietop]

As a rock fan, my mind immediately goes to the song "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam when I hear this name, it's an awesome song, but with a pretty sad story behind it.

[@brianedwards7142]

On mugs and cups I always thought it strange that Hyacinth Bucket would make her neighbour drink from a mug (and not the oft mentioned Royal Doulton with the hand painted periwinkles) but called it a "beaker".

[@ChristoAbrie]

in Afrikaans we have the word "beker" which refers specifically to a mug or a large mug-shaped trophy. we only use that word when we specifically request a mug. we also have the anglicism "koppie", which can translate as: either a small cup/mug or a small mountain, with the word "kop" literally translating as "head" (as in a person's head). it makes sense, cuz a cup's handle is called an ear, cuz it looks like one and the small mountains look like giants poking their heads out of the ground. Another anglicism is the phrase "Koppie koffie/tee" (cup of coffee/tea). we also use the word "koppie" regardless of whether it's referring to a teacup or a coffee mug.

Only problem with the El there is that it was written from right to left.

[@elizabethgundrum2619]

The Hebrew name name set I know best is the natan-yah and natan-el (both versions are reversible). Nathan (also mattan) means gift and yah and El refer to God. The modern names are Matthew/Matthias, Jonathan, and Nathaniel. There is also a biblical man named Elnatan. There is also John (yohannan) and Ananias (Hananiah) that are the same elements reversed. The Greeks also gave us Dorothy and Theodore (coincidentally, also meaning gift of God).

[@donnaroberts281]

In my area of the US (Great Lakes Region) we say “cup” for coffee and tea, but “mug” for hot chocolate - even though we generally drink all three out of mugs. I suppose a “cup of tea” could refer to the measure of the liquid as opposed to the vessel that contains it.

[@dixgun]

Mug also has a meaning less known in maybe the US, such as when English people talk about mugging somebody off.

[@object-official]

what does that mean

[@dixgun]

@@object-official just checked on Google. Here’s what appeared: Meaning of mug someone off in English: to make someone appear stupid, especially by deceiving them or treating them badly in a relationship: Rebecca slammed Luke for mugging her off. I feel like I've been mugged off. SMART Vocabulary: related words and phrases. Disloyalty, betrayal & treason.

[@dixgun]

@@object-official just found this below that other one: The word mug in its modern form was added to the Collins Dictionary in around the 1970s and derives from the 1855 'muggins', used to describe a fool or a simpleton.

[@brianedwards7142]

I can hear Penelope Keith on The Good Life even now "Thank you VERY MUCH Jerry!"

[@jayfrank1913]

And Jonathan, John, Johann, etc... come from the Hebrew, Yohanaton (sp?), meaning "gift of The Lord," I believe.

[@rateeightx]

8:50 I Think There's A Simple And Logical Explanation For This, A Mug Is But A Type Of Cup, Just As A Goblet Is. I Mean A Teacup Is Called A Cup, It's In The Name, But I Think Most Would Agree 'Tis Indeed A Mug, Which is Perfectly Possible As What Is A Mug If Not A Handled Cup?

As for the content of the video, what?? I didn't know Elizabeth was Elisheva! It's so different I get most of the changes, but Greek straight up just added a t at the end there, and ya'll turned that t into a th. also, a lot of old Hebrew names end have god in them. most of what comes to mind are 'el' endings like Daniel, Shmuel, Yehezkel (Jezikiel in english), Or'el, Aviel, Ariel, Renanel then you have ya/ia endings or iahu Hananya, Hezkia, Dalia, Oria, Avia, Ahuvya, Hodaya, B'naya, Brurya, G'dalya Yermiahu (Jeremy), Eliyahu, Aviahu, B'nayahu and finally, names beginning with el/eli Elihu, Elyakim, Eliezer, El'azar, Elishai, Elitzur, Elimelekh, Elhanan, Eli'or. All these have the hebrew god in them, but the rest of the name gives different meanings. Oria, Or'el, Eli'or -> light + god Hananya, Elhanan -> forgiving + god Yehezkel, Hezkia -> god is giving strength etc. etc. etc the point is, if you ignore half the name you can say they're all the same name, which is pretty iffy. btw my favorite is Eliel. My god is a god. what a name.

Quick note about putting יהוה in the video: I'm not super well versed on this but I think religious Jews don't like it when you write יהוה unless it's in a strict religious context and is done very respectfully. You did use it referring to the Hebrew god and pretty respectfully so, so maybe I am wrong. And I mean if you don't mind potentially alienating a frankly pretty small portion of your audience go ahead, like I'm not very concerned that a religious Jew might read my comment and be offended, I don't have an audience to please lol (and again, I might be wrong on this, I'm guessing even if this is problematic some jews might still find it acceptable) (And also the real serious crazy Jews don't even have the internet so they don't even matter lolol)
