Noomi is a Nordic spelling of the biblical name Naomi. Its root is Biblical Hebrew נָעֳמִי, usually transliterated No‘omi or Na‘omi, the form borne by Ruth’s mother-in-law in the Hebrew Bible. The name belongs to the Semitic root n-ʿ-m, associated with pleasantness, sweetness, and agreeableness; the final -i can be read as a first-person possessive ending, giving a literal sense of my pleasantness.

In Swedish and Finnish usage, Noomi functions both as a biblical form and as a contemporary given name; Danish and Norwegian contexts more often frame it as a Scandinavian variant beside Naomi. Related European forms include Noemi in Italian or Spanish, Noémie in French, and Noémi in Hungarian. Outside the Nordic countries, recognition has been helped chiefly by Swedish actress Noomi Rapace, making the spelling visible without displacing Naomi in English-speaking registers.
