What is the meaning of the name Tomomi ?

The baby name Tomomi is a Unisex name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced TOH-moh-mee (Japanese IPA: [to̞mo̞mi]).

Tomomi is Japanese in Origin.

Tomomi (toh-moh-mee) is a Japanese given name built from tomo (友 “friend,” 智/知 “wisdom/knowledge,” or 朋 “companion”) and mi (美 “beauty” or 実 “truth, fruit”). Depending on the kanji, meanings include “beautiful friend” (友美), “wise beauty” (智美/知美), “companion’s beauty” (朋美), or “true wisdom” (智実). It may also be written in kana as ともみ or トモミ.

Once seen in male aristocratic circles - famously Iwakura Tomomi in the 19th century - the name became common for girls after World War II and is now chiefly feminine in Japan. Recent bearers include singers Tomomi Kahala and Tomomi Itano. Variation lies less in spelling than in script and character choice; the standard romanization is Tomomi. Nicknames such as Tomo or Mi are used informally, and the neutral root tomo gives the name a friendly, thoughtful nuance.
