Can anyone tell me what Jarmo means? It's a masculin Finnish name.

I found, it is a Finnish variant of Jeremia.

Hello Andy, you beat me by two minutes :)

I found on the Internet that all the names Jarkko, Jarmo, Jarno, Jere, Jeremias, and Jorma have their name day/saint's day on the 26th of June i.e. just yesterday, so I strongly suspected a connection between Jarmo and Jeremy, but could not prove it...
