Somie (SOH-mee) is a modern, mostly feminine given name with several pathways. In Korean it aligns with Somi (소미), where meaning depends on the hanja selected: so (昭 “bright,” 素 “pure,” 小 “little,” etc.) + mi (美 “beauty”), producing readings such as “pure beauty,” “bright beauty,” or “little beauty.” The final -e is a stylistic Romanization seen in English-language usage, and the name has gained broader visibility alongside contemporary Korean pop culture and global naming trends.

Beyond Korea, Somie also works as a light, nickname-style choice formed with the affectionate -ie ending, sometimes adopted as a streamlined alternative to Sophie or as a creative standalone.
