He was much reverenced in the Middle Ages and his name was used in Italy, where it became Geronimo, and France, where it was reduced to Jérôme. In England Jeronimus, Geronim, Geronimus (variously misspelt) occur in Latin records from the end of the 12th C. The English pronunciation of the name is indicated by the surnames Jerome, Jerram, Jerrems, Jarram. Ieram occurs in 1556 and Hierom in 1675, but the initial J was usual.
