Maybe Hebraic name was corruption of Hittite Yirmash...

It's not an usual view, but I insist in considering Hermes as somehow linked to Hittite Moon-God Jarmash/Irmash. Forms Herme:s, Hermeas and E-ma-a point to a Common Greek *Hermahas, maybe from *Yermasas. Hermes would be a complex combination of Pre-Greek and IE traits: this Anatolian Moon-God, the IE Shepherd-God (cf. Pusan and Pan, maybe originally a Moon-God), the trickster-messenger IE Fire-God (cf. Loki, Agni, Prometheus), a Pre-IE fertility god (cf. Eros, Dionysos, the Beast-Man in Gimbutas' Old European Mythology - if it is valid), a Pre-IE dog-killer, golden-sworded  Argeiphontes.

Any possible connection with the Semitic root Jeremiah "God raises, lifts up (vel sim)"? I'm guessing that just as pagan names permeated European onomastics, they were probably present in ancient Israel as well.
