What is the meaning of the name Momi ?

The baby name Momi is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MOH-mee (English: /ˈmoʊmi/; Japanese: /momi/).

Momi is Hawaiian, Japanese in Origin.

Rooted in Hawaiian, Momi means “pearl,” a symbol of beauty, rarity, and cherished value in island culture. As a given name it appears in 19th- and early 20th‑century Hawaiian records and remains familiar today, sometimes honoring family ties to the sea. Related Hawaiian forms include Leimomi (“pearl lei”) and Momilani (“heavenly pearl”). The name aligns in meaning with English Pearl and Perla, and with Margaret/Margarita via the Greek margaritēs “pearl.”

Across languages, Momi also surfaces with different backgrounds. In modern Hebrew it is a common affectionate nickname for Shlomo (Solomon), making it masculine in that context. In Japanese, momi (樅) denotes the fir tree and may appear in creative, nature‑inspired names, though standalone Momi is rare. Variant spellings are uncommon; in Hawaiian orthography it appears as Momi, without ‘okina or macrons. Overall, Momi carries a clear, luminous meaning with broad cross‑cultural appeal.
