The word "homie" originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) in the 1980s as a term of endearment among friends or acquaintances. It is derived from "homeboy" or "homegirl," which refer to close friends or people from the same neighborhood. Over time, the word has become more widely used and is now part of mainstream slang.
