What is the meaning of the name Bom ?

The baby name Bom is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced Korean IPA: [pom]; English approximation: /bɒm/ or /bom/.

Bom is Korean in Origin.

Bom is a Korean given name (봄) meaning “spring,” evoking renewal, warmth, and new beginnings. It is unisex but more common for girls, and has grown in use from the late 20th century as vocabulary-based, nature names became fashionable in Korea; pop-culture figures like singer Park Bom have kept it visible. The name is typically written in Hangul and registered without hanja, though it may appear affectionately with the suffix -i as Bom-i/Bomi.

Variants and transliterations include Bom, Pom (McCune–Reischauer), and the diminutive Bom-i/Bomi. Related seasonal names are Ga-eul (“autumn”) and the Sino-Korean Chun/Choon (春 “spring”), which are cognate in meaning rather than direct variants. Beyond Korea, bom means “good” in Portuguese and shows up in surnames and toponyms (e.g., Bom Jesus), lending a positive association even where it is rarely used as a given name.
