Jerimoth / Yerimoth — personal name meaning 'heights' or 'he is exalted,' borne by Benjamites, Levites, and others

Spelled in three variant forms (יְרֵימוֹת, יְרֵמוֹת, יְרִימוֹת), this name carries the sense of 'heights' or 'exaltation,' fitting for families who saw divine elevation in their children. It appears among Benjamite warriors (1 Chr 7:7–8; 8:14), Levitical musicians and gatekeepers (1 Chr 23:23; 25:4, 22), a Naphtalite chief (1 Chr 27:19), and a son of David whose daughter married Rehoboam (2 Chr 11:18). Three men by this name appear in Ezra 10 among those who had married foreign wives, giving the name a bittersweet final echo in the canon.
