Meaning & origin
Niaomi first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1979, a modern respelling of the classic Naomi. The name reached its peak popularity in 2022, ranking among the top 8,000 names. However, since 2022 it has been declining in use. In 2025, it was given to roughly 1 in every 114,805 newborn girls.

Niaomi is a modern variant of Naomi, a name of Hebrew origin meaning 'pleasantness.' The spelling Niaomi emerged in the late 20th century as a creative respelling, likely influenced by the popularity of the name Naomi and a preference for unique spellings. It has seen limited but consistent use in the United States since 1979.
