What is the meaning of the name Tomoki ?

The baby name Tomoki is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced toh-MOH-kee (Japanese: /to.mo.ki/; hiragana: ともき).

Tomoki is Japanese in Origin.

Tomoki is a Japanese masculine given name, pronounced TOH-mo-kee. Its meaning shifts with the kanji: tomo often uses 友 “friend,” 朋 “companion,” or 知/智 “wisdom,” while ki may be 木/樹 “tree,” 輝 “radiance,” 紀 “chronicle,” 希 “hope,” or 貴 “noble.” Thus combinations such as 友樹, 智輝, 知希, or 朋紀 evoke ideas of enduring friendship and growth (友樹), radiant intellect (智輝), hopeful knowledge (知希), or trusted companionship and legacy (朋紀). The name can also be written in hiragana (ともき) or katakana (トモキ).

Tomoki gained steady popularity in postwar Japan as nature- and virtue-based compounds ending in -ki rose to prominence, and it remains familiar today. Variants are numerous through kanji choice; the standard romanization is Tomoki, with Tomo as a common nickname. Notable bearers include footballer Tomoki Iwata and boxer Tomoki Kameda, and the name appears in manga/anime. Usage is primarily masculine, though kanji selection allows some flexibility in impression.
