A given name, traditionally a feminine name with biblical and literary significance.
From Hebrew 'Noomi' meaning 'pleasantness' or 'sweetness,' composed of 'na' (pleasantness) and 'am' (my people). The name appears in the Biblical book of Ruth.
In the Biblical book of Ruth, Naomi is one of the oldest characters given a major role in the Bible, and her name literally means 'my pleasantness'—yet the story centers on her suffering and loss! This ironic contrast makes her one of the Bible's most complex characters.
