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. The Hebrew name Naomi is not related to the Japanese name Naomi.
Naomi (なおみ, ナオミ), pronounced [naomi] is a unisex Japanese name. The Japanese name Naomi is not directly related to the Hebrew name Naomi. Naomi can be spelled using hiragana, katakana, kanji or a combination of kana and kanji.
