Meaning & origin

It reached its highest point of usage in 1920, but has since declined into obscurity, with no recent births reported. The name's origins are uncertain, but it may have been inspired by the state of Wyoming, which itself derives from a Lenape word meaning 'land of vast plains.' Alternatively, Wyoma could be a modern invention, perhaps created by combining sounds fashionable at the time. Despite its rarity, it has not disappeared entirely, remaining a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon name with a vintage feel.
