Jermain Origin and Meaning

The name Jermain is a boy's name.

Jermain is a variant spelling of Jermaine, which itself derives from the French name Germain, ultimately from Latin germanus meaning 'brother' or 'related'. The name gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the 20th century, particularly from the 1970s onward. St. Germain was a 5th-century bishop of Paris, which contributed to the name's endurance in French culture before it spread more widely. The spelling variant Jermain emerged as the name gained international usage. The name saw increased usage in the United States during the late 20th century, with various spelling variations becoming common. The popularity of musicians like Jermaine Jackson of the Jackson 5 may have influenced the name's visibility in popular culture.
