Lookalikes and near-variants include Nome (the Italian/Portuguese word), Nôm in Vietnamese scholarly usage, and the Hebrew Noam/No’am meaning “pleasantness,” often mistaken for Nom but unrelated. Possible pet forms are Nomi or Nomie. Typical English pronunciation rhymes with Tom; in French it matches homme.
