Jeronimo is the Spanish form of Jerome, from the Greek Hieronymos, meaning "sacred name". Saint Jerome translated the Bible into Latin, and the name was carried to the Americas by the Spanish; the famous Apache leader Geronimo received it from Mexican soldiers. In the United States Jeronimo is a quiet choice among Latino families; it has moved between number 1946 and 2540 for a decade and reached number 1911 in 2025, its best rank yet.
