Morphology
The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'book' + 'of' + the proper name 'Jeremiah' straightforwardly indicates a book associated with or about Jeremiah. This 'Book of X' naming pattern is common across languages and in religious/canonical titles, so a B1 learner who knows 'book' and 'Jeremiah' will readily infer it refers to the biblical book containing Jeremiah's material.
Etymology
The Book of Jeremiah is named for the prophet Jeremiah, because it collects the 'prophecies' he spoke to the people of Israel. That's why today the name means the Bible book that contains Jeremiah's messages.
