The story of Noemie
Naomi is the mother-in-law of Ruth and one of the central figures of a short and much-loved biblical book. French made Noémie, with the accents that fix its three syllables, and it has been in steady French use for generations. It reached American records with French and Québécois families in the nineteenth century, and appears again in recent decades as families reach for French forms of familiar names.
Meaning
pleasantness, sweetness
From Hebrew Noomi, built on a root meaning pleasant or agreeable; in the book of Ruth, Naomi returns from Moab bereaved and asks to be called Mara, bitter, instead — one of the few name-changes in scripture that is refused by everyone around her.
