The name Naomi comes from the Hebrew name Na'omi, which is derived from the Hebrew element na'am, meaning "to be pleasant." In the Bible, Naomi is the mother-in-law of Ruth. It has appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for girl names every year since 1900 and has been a top-100 girl's name every year since 2010. Naomi has been on a steady incline over the past two decades and will likely continue to rise the ranks in coming years. It's also the name of former President Joe Biden's granddaughter, who gave birth to her first child in 2025.
