Meaning & origin
Omie is a rare feminine name first recorded in the United States in 1880, with its peak usage occurring in 1886. Since then, its trajectory has remained stable, meaning it has never experienced a significant revival. The name does not rank in modern popularity data, and its one-in-N occurrence is negligible. Primarily used in the 1880s, Omie likely emerged as a diminutive of Omar or a variant of Oma, but its exact origins remain uncertain. It has no strong association with any U.S. state, as it did not reach significant enough usage to chart in top state rankings. Omie's rarity and vintage charm may appeal to parents seeking a very unusual name with a turn-of-the-century feel.
