Naomi (given name)


Naomi or Noemi is a given name in various languages and cultures.

Naomi (Hebrew: נָעֳמִי) is a feminine Jewish name of Hebrew origin. In Hebrew, it means "pleasantness" and was originally pronounced with the stress on the a (the o is a Hataf Qamatz, marked with a shva to indicate that it is very short). In Judaism and Christianity, Naomi is Ruth's mother-in-law. Because Naomi appears in the Old Testament, this makes the name Naomi a Biblical name.

Naomi (なおみ, ナオミ), pronounced [naomi] is a feminine Japanese name. Naomi can be spelled using hiragana, katakana, kanji or a combination of kana and kanji.
