He is regarded as a Doctor of the Church. The name was used in his honour in the Middle Ages, especially in Italy and France, and has been used in England since the 12th century. Jerome is a Medieval English name, derived from the Ancient Greek name "Hieronymos", itself a compound of the Greek words "hieros", which means "sacred", and "onyma", which means "a name".
