Meaning & origin

Omani is a modern name that entered U.S. records in 2003, reflecting the trend of newly created names with fashionable endings. The name has seen a rising trajectory since 2017, peaking in 2024, though it remains very rare with no recorded top states or siblings. Its unique sound may appeal to parents seeking an uncommon name with a global feel, though its etymology remains uncertain.

Omani appears to be a modern coinage with no established etymology. It may be a feminine elaboration of names ending in -ani or a respelling of Omari, or simply derived from the country name Oman. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 2003 and has been in limited use since.
