'Naomi' comes from the Hebrew name נָעֳמִי (Na'omiy) meaning "pleasantness". It appears in the Old Testament as the name of the mother-in-law of Ruth.

It is also a name in Japan, where it translates to "honest and beautiful."

Naomi is a Hebrew feminine name (from the Book of Ruth). The same syllables, with a different meaning, are a (unisex) name in Japan as well. In Hebrew, Naomi translates to "pleasant." In Japanese, the same syllables mean "honest and beautiful."
