Nomia is Greek in Origin.

Nomia is a feminine name from Ancient Greek Νομία (Nomía), a noun meaning “pasturage” or “grazing,” ultimately from νόμος (nómos), whose older sense is “pasture, range” and later “law; custom.” In Greek mythology, Nomia is remembered as an Arcadian mountain nymph (an Oread), regarded as the eponym of the Nomian Mountains in Arcadia, a region famed for pastoral landscapes. The name therefore carries bucolic and orderly overtones - “of the pastures” with a secondary resonance of “order” or “custom.”

As a given name, Nomia is rare but appealing to those drawn to understated mythological choices and classical Greek roots. It has seen occasional modern use, especially in settings that favor distinctive Hellenic revivals. Variants and related forms include the accented Greek Nomía (Νομία); short forms such as Nomi; and the cognate-adjacent Greek name Nomiki (“legal, juridical”), though Nomiki is a separate derivation.
