STRONGS G2408:
Ἰερεμίας [WH Ἰερ. (see their Introductory § 408); so Rec.st in Matthew 27:9], -ου [Buttmann, 17 (16), 8], ὁ, (יִרְמְיָה or יִרְמְיָהוּ, equivalent to יָהּ יִרְמֶה 'Jehovah casts forth' (his enemies?), or 'Jehovah hurls' (his thunderbolts?); cf. Bleek, Einl. in das A. T. § 206, p. 469, [cf. B. D. under the word Jeremiah]), Jeremiah [A. V. also Jeremias, Jeremy], a famous Hebrew prophet, who prophesied from [circa] B.

D. under the word Jeremiah, I. 6]: Matthew 2:17; Matthew 16:14; Matthew 27:9 (in the last passage his name is given by mistake, for the words quoted are found in Zechariah 11:12f; [cf. Prof. Brown in the Journal of the Society for Biblical Literature and Exegesis for December, 1882, p. 101ff; Toy, Quot. in N. T., p. 68ff; for a history of attempted explanations, see Dr. James Morison, Commentary on Matthew, the passage cited]).
