Encourage your little girl to show kindness to the world with this Hebrew name. Noami, which means "pleasant," is a variant of Naomi. Naomi is a Biblical name and the ancestor of Jesus, who changed her name to Mara, meaning "bitter," as an expression of her grief when both her sons died. Baby Noami can use her name as a reminder to hold onto her inner goodness and do her best to put a smile on the faces of the people around her.
