Jomey is English in Origin.

Jomey is a rare modern given name with multiple plausible origins. In English-speaking contexts it reads as a playful blend of Joey (from Joseph) and Jamey/Jamie (from James), part of the trend for -ey diminutives. In South India, particularly among Malayalam-speaking Christians, the close variant Jomy/Jomi functions as a contemporary devotional name built on the Jo- pattern seen in biblical names such as Joseph and John.

Because the name is a recent formation, it carries no single fixed meaning; bearers often connect it to source names: from James, "supplanter"; from Joseph, "he will add, increase"; or, by sound association, to Jerome, "sacred name." Documented since the late 20th century, Jomey remains uncommon. Variant spellings include Jomy, Jomi, Jomei, Joemy, Jomie, and Jomee; related forms like Jamey or Joey sometimes serve as equivalents. Its friendly sound and cross-cultural familiarity make it an accessible yet distinctive choice.
