What does the name Naomy mean?
Naomy is a spelling of Naomi, pronounced the same way, so it shares Naomi's meaning and origin.
Naomi is the Hebrew name of Ruth's mother-in-law in the Book of Ruth. It comes from a Hebrew word for pleasantness plus a suffix meaning 'my'. The story itself plays on the meaning: in Ruth 1:20 Naomi asks to be called Mara, 'bitterness', instead. DMNES says Protestants took up the name in the 16th century. Separately, Naomi is a Japanese given name, an unrelated source with the same spelling.
