Gerome Origin and Meaning

The name Gerome is a boy's name of Italian origin.

Gerome is a variant spelling of Jerome, a name with ancient Greek origins derived from 'Hieronymos,' meaning 'sacred name.' This masculine name carries historical significance through Saint Jerome, the 4th-century scholar who translated the Bible into Latin. While less common than Jerome, Gerome maintains the same sophisticated and classical feel. The name experienced modest popularity in the early 20th century but has become increasingly rare in recent decades. Gerome carries an intellectual, scholarly reputation while its distinctive spelling gives it a touch of uniqueness for parents seeking a traditional name with a slight twist.
