What is the meaning of the name Omi ?

The baby name Omi is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced OH-mee.

Omi is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

In South Asian use, Omi is best explained as a modern affectionate form built on Sanskrit oṃ, the sacred syllable written Om or Aum. The earliest secure form is Vedic and Upanishadic Sanskrit oṃ, an indeclinable liturgical utterance later called praṇava. Hindi and related naming habits often add -i to short devotional bases, so Omi carries the sense of belonging to or invoking Om, not the separate Japanese title omi nor a reliable Sanskrit word for master.

As a given name it is most visible in contemporary Indian and diaspora settings, alongside Om, Aum, Omkar, and Omkara. Japanese Ōmi is better treated separately: 近江 was the old province around Lake Biwa, while 臣 denoted a hereditary court title in early Japan. U.S. birth data records Omi only in small numbers since the 2000s, with both female and male registrations and a recent peak in the early 2020s.
