Noemi

Girl name · 10 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Noemi: 10 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 2025.

Noemi is a graceful variant of the Hebrew name Naomi, meaning "pleasantness" or "sweetness," and appears in the Old Testament as the mother-in-law of Ruth. Famous bearers include the Italian singer-songwriter Noemi, known for her powerful vocals, and Noemí, the Spanish spelling often associated with the biblical figure. While no major places bear the name directly, the etymological root "na'am" (pleasant) appears in other Hebrew names. In Scotland, Noemi has seen modest but consistent use since the 1970s, reflecting the country's growing embrace of international names alongside its own traditions. It remains more common in Italy and Latin America, giving it a melodic, cross-cultural appeal.
