Noemi

Noemi is a feminine given name, a variant of Naomi, which derives from the Hebrew Na’omi and is commonly interpreted as meaning “pleasantness” or “delight.” The form Noemi is widely used in several Romance-language countries and has been adopted in various other languages.

Variants and spellings include Noemí (Spanish), Noémie (French), Noêmia or Noémia (Portuguese), and Naomi in English. In Italian, the form Noemi is standard, and in many contexts the name is written simply as Noemi. The name appears in biblical and Christian traditions through the figure Naomi, mother-in-law of Ruth, which has helped sustain its use across cultures.

Usage and popularity vary by country and era. Noemi is particularly common in Italy and among Spanish-speaking communities, and it is used in other parts of Europe and the Americas as well. The name is often chosen for its melodic sound and timeless, classical associations.

Notable people: Noemi, an Italian singer who performs under the mononym Noemi.
