Meaning & origin
Omega is a name of Greek origin, taken from the final letter of the Greek alphabet. Its use as a given name is exceptionally rare, with recorded use since 1893 when it first appeared in U.S. Social Security data. The name peaked in usage that same year, though never achieving broad popularity. Since 1987, its frequency has been on a steady decline, and in 2025 it ranked 14,942, occurring in roughly 1 in 321,453 births. Omega has not been strongly associated with any particular U.S. state, and its similar names list remains empty, underscoring its singular character.
Omega is the 24th and final letter of the Greek alphabet (Ω, ω). The name derives from the Greek phrase 'ō mega' meaning 'great O', distinguishing it from omicron ('little O'). Its use as a given name is rare and likely influenced by its symbolic meaning in Christian theology as representing the end in the phrase 'Alpha and Omega' from the Book of Revelation, signifying God's eternity.
