Neomi

US Popularity Rank: 12246

Origin: Japanese

Meaning: Pleasant, beautiful, delightful; Beautiful and honest

Neomi is a respelling of Naomi, a melodic appellation with roots in Hebrew and Japanese, neither related to the other. This feminine, dual-origin name is bountiful in compliments for your prized little one. In Hebrew, Naomi is a biblical name mentioned in the Book of Ruth and carries the meanings “pleasant,” “beautiful,” and “delightful.” Naomi’s Japanese form has the meaning “beautiful and honest.” By chance, this name means “beautiful” in two languages, ideal for someone as enchanting as baby. Neomi ever-so-slightly changes the pronunciation for parents favoring the soft “e” sound.
