Editing Jeremiah (section)

== Cultural influence ==
Jeremiah inspired the [[French language|French]] noun ''jérémiade'', and subsequently the [[English language|English]] ''[[jeremiad]]'', meaning "a lamentation; mournful complaint,"{{sfn|Anon.|1989|p=766}} or further, "a cautionary or angry harangue."<ref name="merriam-webster.com" />

Jeremiah has periodically been a popular first name in the [[United States]], beginning with the early [[Puritan]] settlers, who often took the names of biblical prophets and apostles. Jeremiah was substituted for the Irish ''Diarmuid/Diarmaid'' (also anglicised as Dermot), with which it has no etymological connection, when Gaelic names were frowned upon in official records. The name [[Jeremy (name)|Jeremy]] also derives from Jeremiah.

[[Sohrab Sepehri]], an Iranian poet and painter, has mentioned Jeremiah in his work as "The weeping prophet".<ref>{{citation |author1=Mansoureh Ebrahimi |author2=Sayyed Kazem Mousavi |author3=Saeed Ghashghaei |title=Recognition of National and Religious Myths in Sohrab Sepehri's "The Traveler": An Investigation on Traditions and Cultural Beliefs |year=2015 |url=http://icsai.org/procarch/2icllce/2icllce-7.pdf |access-date=25 July 2024 |publisher=Universiti Teknologi Malaysia: Faculty of Islamic Civilization; Malaysia Department of Persian Language & Literature; Shahrekord University; Department of Persian Language & Literature; slamic Azad University |language=En}}</ref>
